What size bolts/studs for 15mm spacers

[Wests Renault]

Should be fitting my delta mic spacers this week and have been advised against using the standard bolts.

What length/spec of bolt do I need to order?

Is it worth getting a stud kit over bolts?

Stud kits keep the hub/spacer/disk/wheel all nicely aligned for making it easier to change the wheels so worth doing if you change your wheels a lot (ie if you do trackdays)

Its only for the DCI but thought if there isn't much cost difference between bolts and studs, studs may be easier

Do you know what length I would need and the thread pattern?

M12 * 1.5 if I recall correctly but I can check.

Measure the standard ones and go 15mm longer is the obvious answer, im not sure what the standard bolt length is on the DCI offhand though Im afraid.

I got the rare rims kit off ebay, was £37 i think, if you ask they will do different sizes. They list the standard size as 40mm, so i got 8x40mm and 8x60mm. No issues with wheels working lose etc on road and track.

And that was with 15mm spacers

How come you used to different sizes? Longest I can seem to find is 50mm on their ebay site

As fronts went into bolt to hub spacers. Rears went through 15mm spacer.

Message them on here or ebay, they have longer sizes trust me.
