If your talking about wheel spacers, the answer is yes.

I think Ace Deli has them on his ,and there about 35mm.

There are at least two types available , the ones where you put stud extensions onto your studs, and slip the spacer over them .

The second type use nuts onto your studs to hold the spacers on. These have studs in between the original studs .Does that make sense?

Thanks for the reply my pal will be suppling these for me as he works for a company that makes them in their turning shop. I just have to let him know what thickness i need. The type he will be suppling are DRM type. This is fitted to the hub with special nuts and it carries new wheel studs for the existing wheel-nuts. So in i could if i wanted go from the Mitsi wheel stud config to another just by changing the stud settings, but i will be sticking with the mitsi setup just want a wider stance.

wheel spacers move the wheel out from the hub, effectively widening the stance of the vehicle and lowering its roll centre. This simple modification increases lateral stability, which in turn provides improved handling, greater safety.
