Can you get locks in the longer length?

Do you put one lock on each wheel or does each lug on the wheel get a lock?

Yeah, you can get longer lockers.

You put one locker on each wheel. It's just to stop someone nicking your wheels.

I have 15mm spacers and the guy/ company I got them from sent me some longer bolts. All you need to do is get bolts that are 15mm longer than your existing bolts or whatever size sapcers you decide on.

Just make sure that the bolts you get are not too long! Otherwise they will poke through the other side of the hub and start making contact with your park brake (which is located inside the rear hub).

Don't let this put you off though!! it's not rocket science and they are money well spent. Just ensure you get the correct length bolts.

As I did, you may wish to apply copper grease on the inside and outside faces of the spacers to prevent them from seizing to the wheel & hub.

I'm sure you'd rather NOT have to bang at them to get them off!

Copper grease the bolts too. As we know, bolts can be fu#kers to un-do.

Torque the bolts to 110nm.
