I am thinking about buying a pair of 20mm spacers to replace the 15mm spacers I have and am wondering if anyone knows if the extended bolts I bought for the 15mm spacers will be long enough to use with the 20mm spacers.
Thanks
Thanks

Looking at the Breyton fitment chart,the recommended bolts for a 20mm spacer are 8mm longer than those for a 15mm spacer,i.e.50mm and 42mm respectively.Lengths may differ for other brands.

I would get longer. Personally 5mm more warrants a longer bolt IMO..

Are you going to be using the 20mm spacers on the 124's? If so I would love to see this. I too have 15mm spacers and often thought 18mm would be the perfect size for a flush look. Please post pics, and yes, you will need longer bolts...

Yes..with the 124's. Everyone said 15mm spacers is what I need to get....but after having them on the car for a few months now, I've decided they aren't as flush as I hoped, and after measuring from the top of the tire to the edge of the fender with the 15mm spacers on, there's about 10mm of space, so I think a 20mm spacer will be a better more flush fit than the 15mm spacers. I'm going to pull a bolt off and measure it....as I have no idea what size they sent me with the 15mm spacers.
