I am getting 15mm spacers for the rear. How long bolts should I get. I have seen total bolt length 1.5 at pep boys. Will they work or need longer. If anyone has link to some on ebay please post. Thanks.

Lacking a crystal ball (joke) I did not realize that you had new wheels. When you ask for some aid it is best to put all the info on the table so to speak.
I know squat about wheels and such but isn't 15mm a bit much for spacers? I may learn something here that I never thought I would want to know.

Re: spacer

Many have ran 15mm on here. I have done my research but no one has said the bolts size. Maybe cause when you buy some spacers they come with bolts. Mine will not.

When you buy spacers I am sure that you have to specify what length you need unless they know already.
You need ball nuts not conical remember.

Maybe not, remember he has new wheels, my new wheels use conical bolts. Also I am using 20mm spacers with 275-30s in back.

True, I forgot why I was giving him *****.

He should keep all his post together, not post random threads as thought come into his head.

As I said I know squat about wheels and fitting them as I have not seen anything that much better than the OEM ones that would induce me to spend good money on them. Some of those wheels on here are hideous to my eyes but probably great in the eyes of the buyer.
As far as I am concerned some peoples taste is just in their mouth, but that is what makes us different, thankfully.
