Default Extended Lug Bolts in Canada?

Hi, I'm recently bought some 12mm spacers for my car and want to buy some extended lug bolts. Shipping from the states is a killer. Does anyone know of any Canadian retailers that have them for sale (I'm in Vancouver)? TIA

4WheelSpacers is based in Canada. They include extended lug bolts in their kits, if you asked I am sure they'll sell you just the bolts

I have some adapters if you’re interested. German made Wide enough to allow you to run wheels from a narrow body 997 on the rear of a wide body at the proper offsets.

a user named Varun reached out to me when I was asking about longer bolts/spacers to run some 987 wheels on my 986 boxster for the track... I've used the bolts /spacers a few times no issues. I believe he is close to the GTA. I got them shipped to me.

I picked up the wider spacers already, just need a pair of 5mm and 2 sets of extended bolts.

Unfortunately I'm at the other end of our beautiful country, closer to Richmond, BC than Richmond Hill.

I have 7mm and 15mm spacers, along with the associated bolts. Used for about 3000km.

Let me know if interested.

Thanks, but I already have the 12mm; if you were local, I'd ask if I could test fit them though. I think I'll likely order ECS spacers through EuroSport Tuning, pricing is alright and I may order a couple of other items to get the free shipping too.

Thanks for the suggestion. I emailed Essex, unfortunately they have no stock for the spacers and they don’t have the correct size for the bolts (pricey too at over $10 each).
