I purchased the 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers.
The thread pitch size is 14x1.5
RG sport told me I needed 43mm and 50mm locks respectively.
I didn't want 2 sets of locks with 2 different keys, so I decided to "split" the difference, and order a set of 47mm locks. I really don't think 3mm in either direction is going to render the car "unsafe" by any means. I don't have the car yet, but I don't expect any issues.
Specifically, these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/4Pc-Black-1...72.m2749.l2649
Yea... not super "high-end".... but if someone wants your shit bad enough.... they are going to get it. These will serve as a "detractor" to the common petty thieves. Otherwise, that's what insurance is for. |

M14x1.5 is NOT THE CORRECT BOLT!!!
G05 is definitely M14x1.25 !!!

And 3mm off in either direction may or may not be usable or safe and requires test fitment before finalizing the mount. If too long, a) may bottom out in the hub and not tighten to spec, or b) in the case of bolt-on spacers, may "protrude" and apply counter pressure to the hub (harder to explain without a diagram). If too short, may not retain torqued force and loosen. Regarding too short, I believe the rule of thumb is minimum of 10 turns depth (for M14x1.25, will be different for different bolt specs), but that needs to be verified.

Finally, I would NEVER use a lug bolt of unknown construction and origin i.e. "random shit off eBay". That's fine for pretty stickers and trunk nets, not a critical safety component like a lug bolt. The issue isn't whether someone steals your wheels, the issue is that an unknown bolt can sheer off under driving stress and kill you, your family, and others. To be sure, there are very fine Chinese bolts, but I won't be mentioning them in RG Sport's thread.
If these issues are too complicated (and they can be, no shame), you should not be dealing with rims and custom wheel mounting setups yourself.
