Good stuff Simon
I agree, I think a smaller slip on spacer would be favourable to bolt on spacer, providing it doesn't reduce the amount of thread bite by too much.
Longer studs can be used, but then again when reverting back to non spacers, they may be too long.
At the moment I'm running 19" RRS rims and the gap to wheel upright is minimal compared to my 20's.
So, if I wanted to use snow chains, I would need spacers of some sort.
So I wonder what LR's take on this would be .?????
Yes Al, measuremants you have are all correct.
But I definately had more space than you had with the same 53 offset ...unless one of these figures was incorrectly stated.
Would like to check my 20's, so where/how is this measurement taken/calculated.
I do love a good chit chat on wheel issues.

yours werent upside down were they Ron, 35mm offset

(and 19" RRS alloys, and 20" RRS alloys, and 19" RRS alloys, and........back on 20's - finally, honest, satnav & DVD)

 Nope.
But if they were surely they would be more inboard 
Thought about these 30mm bolt on spacers and that if used, surely the stud would need shortened to 30mm to accomodate the wheel.
And if so, when you take the spacers off, the studs would then be useless.
BUT, that was only my thoughts.
Just checked my 17's & 20's and between the 5 stud pattern, there are cut outs in the wheel, this no doubt is to accomodate the protruding standard studs when bolt on spacers are fitted.
So in manufacturing the wheel in this fashion, surely they're in agreement that bolt on spacers are safe to use?

Ron
other way round, the lower the offset, the more the wheel is out of the arch.

its the centerline of the wheel rim width (a slice through the wheel) to the face of the casting that goes up against the hub. e.g 0 offset would have the wheel hub face dead in the center of the rim width, 10mm offset would move the rim 10mm inboard of the hub face, and so on, so the lower the number, the further outboard the rim goes.
