Looking for 20mm spacers and bolts

Anybody have 'em or can you tell me exactly what I need to get to mount
stock C7's (wheels) on the rear of my coupe?
That inset look is really bugging me.

I'm not really sure of your question. When I had my C7 rims for my summer rims, I had 20mm H&R spacers on the rear.

What are you confused about?

Seriously, change to studs already.

No thanks, I'll stick with women.
ha!
What I want to know is do I need different bolts, and
I don't really feel like switching to studs.
Is there a kit that comes with wheel bolts?

I think when I ordered my 20mms from Pure Motorsport, either the bolts were included, or I added them, and which size to get was easy to determine from their website.

But now they've totally redesigned their website and dropped Benz.

Obviously, the easiest thing to do is measure your current ones, and add 20mm. I don't know what the proper bolt length is still, unfortunately. And since I switched to wheel studs, I don't have to.

I agree to the idea of doing a stud conversion, especially if you want to space your wheels out even further. It will eliminate any need to buy new bolts for sure

You need new bolts with each size spacer or else you'll risk tearing up your parking brake assembly. Switching to studs is an easy way to get around this, remember to get BALL SEAT lug nuts for your C7's though.

Take a current one out, measure it, add 20mm, then order:

Well I just checked out H&R spacers and I think you need 14x1.5 bolts. That It comes with for like 150 but I'm a little interested about this stud conversion...
