Lastly, who stocks them in Perth?
I have some for 114.3's - I think about 15mm and 20 mm spacers

Can confirm Wilko's stock them and fit them... Will be running some, albeit not big ones on the rear of mine from Thursday!

I remember getting home from illegal dra... err I mean a romantic picnic to find my non hubcentric ones had caused 4 of 5 wheels studs to sheers off both front wheels.

Worrying when I had to recall the speed I reached at the barbs back straight

I had some billet hub centric spacers made a few years back.

12mm for the front and 15mm for the back.

they cost me $90 each

the long wheel studs were about $150 for the set (20)

i would go with hubcentric spacers. I had slip on spacers on my old car. They were 5mm but on stock wheel studs, you can tell over time it weakens the studs because the wheel doesnt sit right on the hubs.

i run hubcentric spacers with me r specs on the front and hubcentric rings on the rear. the fronts were only holding the wheel on with couple layers of thread. the only problem was that it wrecked the thread on a couple of studs when a tyre shop put them back on so now i put long studs on the front. all good
