Hi members!

I need 10-12 mm spacers to fit the spare tire on the front wheels (I have M5 brakes on and the caliper is too big), in case of puncture .

Where can I search on the web ?

And what about the price, about $100 ?

Thanks, bye!

Mh, thanks!
I will ask to the tyre vendor if 20 mm is ok .

Another question : is it simple to fit those spacers ? Can I make it by myself, in case of puncture ?
Which tools are necessary ?

Thanks again!

Andy, you will need them too
