If its only 5mm I dont think it really matters,
but if your going for the 30mm then Hubcentric
is in my eyes essential..
Torque setting for both spacers and wheel nuts 115Nm 85lbp
Cheers for the info
I was thinking around 10mm, I'll have to measure the spigots depth

I have been looking for some 30mm wheel spacers, and so far theses are the only ones I have found.

I wouldn't go for 50's, too wide and your tyres wont sit inside the arches, so an MOT fail.
I've got the Bearmach/H&R kit, can't fault it

Also with 30mm spacers, it's best to use locktite when you fit the spacer to the hub.

I'd like some, but not at that price! almost £100 more than the direct 4x4 site.

The Bearmach ones are made by H&R, you're paying for the H&R name and TUV approval, they're also anodised, which isn't cheap in itself, and so will last longer

Okay, where did you find yours? They seem to be quite hard to find.

Bought them from the same company I linked you to yesterday, but I rang them up and they gave me a discount, something like 10-15%

Personally yes, as I know they've been made properly from the right material. Aluminium is a funny old sod

Do spacers have a definite positive effect on the driving experience? I know they look good but I'd like to know people's opinions and reasons for fitting them before considering them myself...

Yep, wider track gives more grip and better handling.
I second that, I thought it was the placebo effect,
but I have noticed that it is much more secure footed
especially in the wet..

I would always go for hubcentric spacers. Take it to 70mph on a motorway & it's will make an awful noise not to mention vibration.
