    I have them on my rear Challenge wheels. I got longer bolts from Hill Engineering.

    Yes. I have them on my fronts and will most likely go with them on my rears as well (i have 11mm right now). Purchase the bolts through Ricambi. They know exactly what to get you.

    I think I have a set of bolts that I would let go cheaply. Let me see.

    I have 15mm spacers front and rear using 70mm bolts. I purchased the spacers and bolts together as a kit from / / / FORMULA DYNAMICS - MASERATI & FERRARI SPECIALISTS / / /. Bolted right up, no problems, no rubbing, no vibration.

    Here is the link to a thread regarding challenge wheels and spacers on ferrarichat.

    You can see the 15mm spacer on the front in the attached photo.

    The issue with the rear bolts is that they are indeed 70mm, but need a taller than normal head, to fit the recesses of the Challenge wheels. Can you use a stock 70mm bolt? Yes. Does it fit 100% perfectly? Not in my (personal) opinion.

    Daniel, what do you recommend on the rear?

    For me -- and its very personal/subjective..... I don't like spacers when used with the Challenge wheels.

    regarding fitment

    I had these made but I be danred if I remember who did them. I'm sure I will run into him again and he will ask how are they.

    They sit well in the hole and easy access
