Correct...well 66.6mm actually.

Ignore 'Ning' for your wheels...totally different especially when he/she suggest 25mm spacers....wrong,very wrong!

I got some 22mm bolt on spacers made of steel made by....I can't remember!....but they were under £50 a pair...let me think..

Vitos have a really high offset...like 55 mm or summat....a good spacer would be a benefit in my veiw..I run ML rims at ET 57 with the 22mm spacers...ET is then...ermm...25mm? so a little low but I have power steering and the van is stable..no tramlineing going on and feels better than my pickup on ET35s..

What is the ET value stamped into your rims?

57-22= 25?

Knob fingers to blame no doubt...

Yes you will be ok with 66 (.6)mm:) . It's just my existing were larger - i.e 48 was not close.

Sorry. I was only saying if you keep the existing stud & nuts and don't change to studs. - Yes, true, I might have got away with 22mm without filing. Irrespective of wheels & tyres.
The rest I'll learn from you all on here
Why don't they use bolts as on the front? Handle the rear stress better? ( why?) I don't know.

Ok thanks for all your help let me just have one final check. Ive got 16" / 7" wide wheels 5/112 pcd .et is 45 ,so if i buy 20mm bolt on spacers with a centre bore of 66.6 mm it will take my et down to 25 .With a set of van rated tyres 215/60/16 am i all sorted.
