just looked but misleading 10mm with bolts is only 2 x 5 mm spacers ...

so if you want ten mm either side you have to buy the 20mm ones ...

so whos going to start the group buy , would offer myself but never done one before

I've sent Bill @ Badger 5 a PM to see if he would be interested in running a group buy. Hopefully he can arrange something for us :)

This might seem like a daft question but when fitting spacers,

Do you;

A) fit the spacer to the hub then fit the wheel to the spacer?

or

B) put the spacer between the wheel and the hub and bolts go through your wheel and spacer and screw into hub??

i thought it was B but then i read this *see below* (and NO i dont want one that wiide it would look silly yes, i was just browsing) lol, but am interested in GB just need to get details to Badger 5

some of the wider ones are bolt on to hub, then wheel bolts to them. others in the 15-25mm size range are hubcentric and fit between the wheel and the hub and use longer bolts to clamp.

Just thought I'd give this thread a bump, as some of the people who said they were up for a group buy on spacers have not yet added their names to the thread in the Badger5 forum.

I think that would be pushing it a bit, 15mm seems to take the wheels to the edge of the arch and I'd be worried that any more would make them an MOT failure and might cause rubbing.

Looking into getting some new rims atm. Going to hold-fire on the spare front until I know what I'm doing.

No I don't think 20mm would be ok, not on LCR rims anyway. When I had 3 people in the back of mine I felt the clearance between tyre and arch and it is very close, it doesn't rub but i'm sure 20mm spacers would cause it to rub the arch.
