wheel spacer question on mk4 escort
I am using the special 'Ghia' wheel bolts (with the wider cup) on my Mk4 Escort with 16" Mondeo alloys. My question is what is the maximum spacer size I can use on the rear whilst still leaving enough thread to bolt up the wheels safely?

Whatever size spacer you add, add onto bolt length...

So you mean I will need longer 'Ghia' bolts?
If so I wasn't aware there were different lengths of this bolt

I'd have thought Peter Lloyd Rallying sold them to be honest.
It sounds silly but don't forget about the arch to wheel clearance with spacers
