Have been thinking about 15mm spacers for the rear...
H&R spacers are accompanied by the extended bolts, right?
What happens then to our original security bolt on the wheels ? Is there some kind of security bolt that comes with the H&R kit ?
cheers,

Just found out more.
Apparently there are extended security bolts when using spacers. Your tire dealer can find them. I only need 2 but they come in sets of 4 only.
BTW, H&R spacers 15mm quoted 135euros plus 10 extended bolts @ 6.50euros each plus set of security bolts 40euros.....240euros for a couple of spacers -
Also: do you think 15mm is too much for style 123 ?
