Depending on your wheel design at the inside ( If there are open spaces between the lug holes)
You can have spacers in 20mm, 22mm., 25mm.

I will try to mount tomorrow 22mm.in front, 25mm. at the rear. ( on 18" satin dark grey 5094 wheels)

The studs on the Defender are 27 or 28mm.

Put on the spacers 22.mm front, 25mm rear.
Stance clearly improved, handling & cornering also improved.
Looks factory ( as it should have been from the factory)

What specific spacers did you use brand/part? I have 22" rims with 285/45/R22 tires and want to add spacers w/o changing the lugs. would 30mm spacers be ok w/o any bolt/lug changes?

How much does that change the load rating?

The original lugs are 27 or 28 mm, so with a spacer from 25mm you have to shave off a few mm of the original lugs. Not a problem
with 30mm spacers there is no problem.
With my 18" 5094 there are open spaces between the lug holes at the backside of the rim, No problem with them for all sizes spacers.

Loadrating, I don't know. Should be the same.

I bought my spacers here: 20/22/25/30

I've always thought it was a really bad idea to add spacers purely for aesthetics. Reduced turning, extra roll and less effective suspension in hard turns, extra wear on suspension components and bearings, safety issues, unusual tire wear, more stress on the wheel itself, reduced load capacity...

I'm willing to accept that I'm wrong.

Do you have any “click” from the wheels when you brake or accelerate after installing the spacers?
I just got Bora Spacers and installed them yesterday with the recommended 140Nm of torque. I notice this click when I’m parking (going reverse and forward)
