Default spacers

Okay, all you guys running XK8 17x8 wheels with ET33, looks like you are using a spacer on the front. In reading the forum here, I've seen 1/4" and I've seen 13mm. Can you tell me where to get these spacers?
Is this an option?
Billet Hub Centric Wheel Spacers Jaguar (Pair)

Would this require longer lug nuts?

yes

hub centric spacer on the front only , i actually use a 25mm one ( 1" ) hub centric

these will have their own short head nuts which you bolt to the hub , then you use your own wheel nuts to bolt to different threaded studs in the hub centric spacer


just watch the clearance rubbing on the lower rear sill end on full lock , but this will depend on the tyre profile

they can be easily got from ebay , differing prices and possibly qualities ,
