No everything torqued to spec ! Ready to put the wheels on. Run these spacers for 8 years and about 40'km without any problems.

Thanks for that.
Obviously some (maybe most?) F-Type wheels must have wide enough voids to fit those nuts into.
Seems I learn something new about the F-Type almost every day!

Thank You very much!!! I can now visualize exactly what my shop was concerned about. I have contacted VAP and will purchase their 15mm spacers once they confirm that there will be no fitment issues.
Thank You again

no it's not the same rim but I think your rim-type is pretty similar to the "cyclone" rim concerning the depth
of the pockets on the screw surface so cutting down the studs about 3-4mm is necessary.

thank you again for posting the picture of the H&R spacer
It really helped me understand that they’re definitely is a fitment issue potentially based on the way the nuts sit proud wants torque down
