Just wanting to know what thread length wheel bolts to use with 20mm spacers and standard 18mm off set alloys. Currently have threaded bars fitted that I want to remove and replace with bolts.

Many thanks.

As I've found out you'll have to measure it yourself.

What I reckon is that 18mm of thread is presented to a standard hub. So you will need 38mm visible thread including the spacer. BUT I'm waiting on replacement bolts to confirm my measurements.

I tested out this morning. I don't have locking nuts or replacement spigots (I'm having to return the whole oz kit), so didn't do a full fit and drive. But the 2 I put tightened up properly, with no play in the wheel and you can see from the photo about 12mm is covered in copper slip which is what was in the hub (at least). The bolt was presenting around 19-20mm from the wheel. So I'm guessing there was more than 12mm of the bolt in the hub, it just didn't get coated in copperslip from the hub.

Hope my rambling makes some sense and helps.
