Which bolts for Wheel Spacers?

[CarpyT6]

Sorry if this has been asked but I couldn't see anything.
2 questions if I may. Firstly when fitting spacers, is it best to use the sort that you fit onto your hub with supplied bolts, then use your existing bolts to attach the wheel to the spacer? Or the sort of spacers that you use extra long bolts to attach wheel to spacer and the hub?

Secondly are amarok bolts suitable to use on the T6?

Thanks

1. Depends on thickness of spacer.
2. Yes

Ok thanks, I'm looking at 20mm spacers

My 20mm just have holes for longer bolts, 30mm are bolted to hub then have tapped holes for wheel bolts both from watfields engineering at Barnsley they also sell via ebay.

Ok thanks have seen both available but didn't know which was best, that is if one is better than the other

Personally if I was going to run spacers I’d definitely go with H&R.... Steve @CRS Performance both supplies and fits.

If you go to the 21 mm front ( or 25 mm ) it becomes an adaptor NOT a spacer , So much safer and easier to change wheels if you have a puncture
Spacers and long bolts aren't as good and a royal pain when a wheel change is needed >

Did you guys use copper grease on the back of your spacers?

Did you guys use copper grease on the back of your spacers?

Yes just a light dab after I'd cleaned the hub up with a wire brush. After 5 months they came off nice and easy.

Looks really good with the spacers, how much lower is the suspension compared to standard, as I really like the ride height as well.
