Come on members, is there anyone who sells ONE 20mm spacer?
Or anyone else who needs one like me? (big brake kit)
I need it in case of puncture, to let the spare tyre fit at the front.

buy a set of 10mm and sandwich them together, and bingo. 
Do you know this is a GOOD idea?
I have 10mm at the rear now. And M5 brakes at the front axle.
In case of puncture, I have in the boot bolts for 20mm spacer, so I can get 10+10mm and I'd have a 20mm spacer.
Mmmhhh.. But how the second 10mm spacer would stay on? There is a little ring, on which you can put the spacer. Not big enough to get two 10 mm spacers.

well, i was joking, but if you're going to buy a set, the price will be close to the same...... 10mm vs 20mm. so you might as well buy a 20mm set and extended lugs.

They cost 70-80 EUR from Germany... I will get two and resell one.
Anyone else from Europe?

well i guess you can put spares on yours... mine i cannot put spares because of the weight of my car on the rear with sub boxs and others...
i dont know if it is really necessary to get spacer for theses spare when you probably wont drive more than 10 miles to go somewhere...
i ususally call tow truck and let them just tow to the shop instead of me putting spares and hope it wont puncture and get in a bigger accident

With 10mm, I can drive I think. And I have the 10mm at the rear and I bring in the trunk factory bolts, in order to be able to remove the spacer and install the old bolts.
With 10mm the front wheel (with M5 brakes) can spin, but the distance with the caliper is really really small.
