Thanks for the reply!

I found out they need to be 20 mm and will need longer bolts and a bit of grinding & ty-wrapping ... Too much trouble and a possible safety issue as well.

Ok, understood
Just for the record: If my memory serves me well you would actually need 25mm spacers (and even longer bolts)

Do we need to make a sticky that states 11" 65mm wheels will not work on a Box?

No offense to you Jaak, this is just the 3rd thread this week on the topic.
