Well lads was looking to get some wheel spacers having bother getting them want to space out the back wheels 25 mm
I want to keep the original wheels my local wheel shop thought he had them Sussed using a Suzuki spacer with 60.1mm centre bore and stud extensions on the original nut but the problem is the thread pitch on the spacer is 1.2 and the stud/ nut is 1.5 hope my information is understandable
If any one can shed some light on this thanx very much
He told me the standard nut with the flat washer is as unique and as retro as the car lol

Neil is fairly handy with making stuff, maybe he can knock up a few spacers? I suppose it depends on the cost of materials.
I know they sell custom spacers on driftworks, made to order to your specification, but they will set you back around £100 a pair and I think they supply the bolts too.
Other than that, I don't really know Mick, apart from the shitty universal spacers, but I wouldn't touch those tbh.

Sorry for the Late reply Guys. I moved house and new one didn't have Internet as my new housemates just swapped to BT (And it was shite) Anyhow... Spacers! Best place i've found for them is Superforma. www.superforma.co.uk/www.superforma.co.uk/wheel-spacers/bolt-on-spacers/4x114-3-hubcentric-wheel-spacersThey can make them to any specification you like, and their pretty well priced. They are actually the reason i never bothered to make Them for Driftoy as they're Unmatched for Price and Quality. I'm quite sure they make the Driftworks ones too, so cut out the middle man and all that! Give them a shout and they'll be able to help you Also... For 10% discount enter "10DISC" at the checkouton their web shop nudge nudge.

I've seen them before, and are a really nice finished Product in the flesh. What width did you go for in the end? Be great to see them o the car anyway. Should bring the Iron Crosses out good and flush with the body.
