Whats confusing about it??

You have the choice between system 2 and 5 and option anodized. As it's written there anodized ones are more durable but obviously more expensive. IMO system 2 is more practical but more expensive too. You'll pretty sure need longer wheel bolts. But make sure they are not too long too! According to our guidelines (Switzerland) 6.5 Turns are required at least which gave me a hard time to get bolts long enough but still I had to shorten them.
 
Ideally Looch you'd want hubcentric spacers that make sure the wheels locate correctly but for your 5mm spacers you won't find any as they would be to thin. I'm surprised they offer 6mm hubcentric spacers as normal minimum I've seen is 10mm.
As above really hubcentric anodised for me :approve:
 
I have 5mm hubcentric spacers, the hubcentric bit is the 60.1mm bore.

Wayne you will have problems fitting 10mm spacers hubcentric spacers on the rear as the hub lip protrudes more than 10mm and stops the spacer fitting against the hub face.

Best of luck and any questions fire away mate.
 
I opted against spacers at the end of the day, following a couple of reviews about the car tramlining badly...(Sure this was your view Mossy - can you confirm that?)
 
yeah 15mm tramlime bad i believe Mossy said....Ive been recommended 5mm all round to help fill the arches
 
5mm allround...worth it? That's a fairly small amount, can't see it filling the arches much!

Pics anyone?
