Can't go wrong with the H&R spacers imo mate  :happy2:

DPM performance stock them and ECP have now started selling the H&R spacer and bolt range via their branches too..

Tbh 10mm doesn't do too much I've got tens on mine but the difference is negligible. ... I'll maybe post before and after pix later. I'd go 15-20 if I was buying again.

I had some Forge 10mm ones, and they were quite good, depends what wheels you have.

I've used H&R spacers before and they were excellent. Gutted I had to sell them with my old car as I couldnt find my shorter (original) wheel bolts...

IMHO 10mm adds little really needs a lil more are 15's available?

Just out of interest are these spacers 10 mm either side so 20 mm in total or 10 mm in total so 5 mm a side?

If it helps the "Wheel Man" who used to post on here is a lad called Ben.

I used him for some 12mm hubcentric spacers recently, in order to fit over my front brakes. They come with the longer bolts needed. His email is ben@performwheels.co.uk.
May be worth a mail and a mention of this forum.
