I have 20mm hubcentric spacers on the rear of mine and have had no issues in the last 6 years. They make the tyres fill the arches much better.
I got mine from eBay.

Nitro
Find a Waterjet cutting company near to you. They can cut what you like, just give all the dimensions and pitch circle
diameter of the holes. They will be able to cut any thickness you require within material stock sizes. T6 ali grade is 6082.
Waterjet is ok as it does not produce any heat or stress in the material.
If you happen to live in Kent near Staplehurst give us a call. Google Waterjet cutting Kent and look for the one in
Staplehurst with the funny name. We have done these before for other makes.  Our general tolerance is +/- 0.127mm  .005"

They will probably be a bit more expensive than stock items, as they are bespoke.

Nice one Lee,
                     I did look at those and I think I might take a punt, because as you say they work for you,can't say fairer than that :y

I run 20mm hubcentric spacers on the rear of mine, but then i also converted to studs instead of bolts too!  Well worth it Ken  :y
