Wheel spacers... help
Team, I have a V6 base and I’d love some great spacers to make my stance just perfect. I’ve heard 10mm all around is safe... but where do I buy them? All I’ve found is eBay trash... where can I just buy a set that work?
Your studs aren't long enough to safely use 10mm spacers. Instead, go with 15mm or 17mm adapters.
Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Tech You probably won't find the specific application on their website, but give Mike a call and he can line you up. A bunch of the forum members have those adaptors. I used them until I had my custom wheels built. Sold them on to another forum member.
Since they are not 17mm and only 15mm, you would have to trim the tips of your factory studs so they don't fowl on the wheel (same as any 15mm spacer), I chose to drill the back of my wheels to clearance the studs. Not sure what you mean by "extended bolts" but they come with studs pressed into the spacers that emulate the factory studs.

Perfect fit was in reference to the wheel/fender positioning once installed.
Heaps of threads and posts around here about the fitment (or not!) of 15 mm and 17 mm spacers/adapters, search is your friend!
With almost all OEM F-Type wheels and 15 mm spacers the OEM lugs don't quite clear the recesses in the backs of the wheels (between the bolt holes) and they foul/rub, so you have two choices - either cut or grind about 3 mm off the end of each of the OEM lugs, or drill/grind deeper recesses into the backs of the wheels.
Or else go to 17 mm spacers in which case the lugs juuust fit into the recesses without fouling/rubbing.
There is only one OEM F-Type wheel that I know of where you don't need to do any cutting or grinding or drilling with 15 mm spacers as the recesses are already deep enough - the 20" Blade wheels. I have them with 15 mm spacers all round and zero problems with fouling.
