I have 4 (2 pairs) of hub centric 12mm spacers made by TPI. I don’t have the extended bolts though as I bought them from a owner of a bmw with different thread spacing bolts
If interested we could discuss price etc

Hi Dave
I intend to fit 20mm so don’t understand how 4pairs of 12 mm could be used instead ? Geoff
Ok right I was not sure
Thanks
Hi Geoff,
Well I'm very happy with them. They are obviously quality kit and I like the way that the spacers stay bolted to the hubs when you removed the wheels. To be fair though, I haven't tried others so can't really make any comparisons.

I've found mine stay fixed to the hub when I remove the wheel. Too well in fact, I had to get a very thin blade between the spacer and the hub to get them off to adjust the handbrake. Refitted with a light smear of copper grease

l like the price of your ones if they stay on when wheel removed. GeoffI've found mine stay fixed to the hub when I remove the wheel. Too well in fact, I had to get a very thin blade between the spacer and the hub to get them off to adjust the handbrake. Refitted with a light smear of copper grease
Generally the hubcentric type spacers which utilise longer wheel bolts don't/aren't designed to, stay on. It's just they're a tight fit and they cling to the hub. You can drill through them and fix them to the hub using the screw which fastens the disc onto the hub but usually you have to do this yourself. I find just the opposite thing in that mine tend to stick in the wheels so when I change from winter to summer wheels I have to make sure the spacer hasn't remained in the wheel that's come off.
Even if they are a loose fit you can make wheel fitting easy by making a long stud to temporarily insert into one of the wheel bolt holes, slide the wheel on using the stud to support the wheel while you insert the other 4 bolts. Simply unscrew the stud and refit the last wheel bolt.

go to my media and you can see a before spacer and after 15mm spacer. it also is a 225 tire but on a 17" x 8.5"
mine were 150.00 dollars in the states. Mine are the long bolt version.
I bought mine while on holiday in Florida and paid less than half of that for a set (20 and 14).

Fitted the spacers and looks good
Good news Geoff
