I'm eyeying on a set of 18x8J OZ Ultraleggera ET45 and looking to install 10mm spacers to make it ET35.
Just wondering what brands of spacers are recommended by forumers with similar OZ wheels? And also i read that lug nuts needs to be replaced too.
Saw a post by Candy Monster but i'm unable to drop a private message to him.
Hope someone can advise me on the brand and also dimensions for the lug nuts.

Re: Spacers Recommendation
H&R spacers are popular and it's important that you use hubcentric ones.
Standard wheel bolts are around 28mm long so you need to use bolts extended by the width of the spacer. Example a 38mm bolt for a 10mm spacer and a 48mm bolt for a 20mm spacer. If keeping OEM wheels bolts need to have radius shoulder but many aftermarket wheels require a cone or taper shoulder.
It's important to use the right type of bolt to match the wheel. Also important if using "bolt to hub" spacers but obviously you don't need thr extended length bolt.
