Thanks in advance.

And also will i need extended bolts? If so where's best to buy them & what sort?

Best = none IMO. Unless you're asking about looks?

And you only have about 7 turns on standard bolts on the front wheels, which isn't a lot, so any amount of spacer really needs longer bolts to be safe. Standard bolts are 60deg tapered M12 x 1.5 x 24mm long thread, some say 26mm but mine measure 24mm (don't know why????).

Its performance im looking to enhance but if the spacers don't do much i might as well stick as standard. What's your opinion?

For me I'd stay standard, unless track car. Reason being I don't want to sacrifice steering feel. But I've not tried big spacers so cant really say what effect they have on performance.
