Gents,
Thanks for the input.
I already have purchased a wheel stud conversion kit that will accommodate up to a 15mm spacer, so I’ll go with those.
If I find 15mm too much, I could get my brother-in-law to mill off some thickness in exchange for a box of beer.

I’ll post up some before & after pics, but not until after the snowbird in-laws get back from FL.
Free shipping in the CONUS is great, I just have to wait until the middle of April for the goods to arrive. As mentioned elsewhere on the forum, I’m way to German to pay for shipping if I don’t have to.

For those adding spacers, can I assume that you also need longer lug bolts equal to the width of the spacers? Or will the stock blots work?
