Default 15mm Track extension without cutting stay bolts

Hi all,

my name is Sascha and I'm living in Germany.

Our Jaguar forum is much smaller and I think it's may be easier, to get some information from you guys overseas.

So, I'm looking for track extensions for the rear and I've learned that it's depending on the wheels if it's necessary to cut the stay bolts when I'd like to go for 15mm extensions.

My question is if somebody has experience with the 20" Rotor wheels. Is it necessary to cut these bolts or is there enough space in these wheels?

Many thanks in advance.

You probably will need to grind down the bolts a bit. Shouldn't be very difficult or time consuming with a powered portable grinder. The 17mm spacers/extension normally don't require grinding if you haven't ordered them yet.

The thread does not start until past 2mm anyway.

I have 15 mm spacers on the rear of my F-Type, but with Blade wheels instead of Rotor wheels, and the wheels went on with zero problems and zero need to grind anything off the wheel studs. The wheel spoke and lug arrangement on the Rotors looks very similar to that on the Blades, so I suspect you won't have any problems.
