Is this in preparation for spacers dude? If so make sure you get hubcentric ones, not matter how big they are. They're much safer.

thanks man. yes hubcentric for the win.
But im looking at steel ones. extra weight, but I dont want to spend the money on Aluminium's if not absolutely necessary.
what you think?

not too sure on the pros and cons of alu and steel other than weight if im honest.
as long as they're strong and safe your fine, the weight thing is pretty insignificant given there size.
my adaptors are FK ones, they're nice and sturdy and hubcentric also. look up what FK use, as i'd recommend it. although i have a feeling it's an alloy. i'd do it myself but i'm on my mobile and it'll take me ages lol.

you can see why I have to go 20mm spacers on the rear now. and it looks like 15mm is minimum the fronts

Nice one for that. So your definitely going with the 15mm front and 20mm rear? Good to have someone finally doing something about the uber tuck RXIIs always give!
