mate spacers will put extra strain on the wheel bolts.I've had serious probs with 13mm spacers.The bolts wrapped and cracked and damaged the hubs.I had to change them.It is better if you go for a lower offset value alloys as these will are made so that they wont stress the bolts. | |

spacers lower the offset of the wheel....no real use on vauxhalls as we have the highest offset. | |
