As subject states, fitting 313's next week. Decided against the cheap ebay spacers and go for some 20mm h&r's on the rear. Which set would you recommend? I like the idea of bolt on ones but people seem to go for the extended bolts??? Help :|
 
At 20mm the depth of thread for a 12mm bolt is more than adequate to go bolt on. Less than 20mm then the likelihood is that extended bolts would be the only safe route.
 
Cheers that's great. Any reservations or potential issues with existing wheel bolts going onto Ali alloy?
 
The bolts should be fine. The thread pitch is ok but personally I would still prefer to see long bolts and then the casting takes all the load. But given the Alloy is a professionally selected strength for the purpose, bolting into thread in the alloy should still give the same retention.

Make sure you torque them correctly the additional loading makes that very important.
