Looks like I'm a little late. I went with the RSC Tuning hub-centric spacers, 15mm front and 20mm rear.
They come with longer wheel bolts so you'd need to press out the (shorter) stock bolts and press in the longer bolts. It's a bit of a pain but I felt this was a safer option than the Adaptec spacers that bolt on to the hub then you bolt the wheel on to the spacer.
All that doesn't mean you can return them. Have a set of Adaptec 20mm with bolts etc...... simple bolt on for relatively cheap if you want them. I could sent them, and if you want them and not the 23mm then we can work something out. Just an option. They are up on eBay now. I have 2 sets that came with my DB9 which I never used.

Now I'm interested, how does longer studs (stuts getting weaker the longer they get) safer?
The TUV report requires over a certain length DRM systems to be safe.

The longer wheel bolts are not drastically longer than the OEM bolts that they become significantly weaker. I just felt that getting the longer bolts pressed in is a much safer and cleaner install than having 2 sets of shorter bolts to hold the spacer and wheel on.

I have the spacers on my Ford mustang that bolt onto the car then the wheel bolts to the spacer, I drive the thing like I stole it often smoking the rear wheels at every opportunity just because it is the mustangs only claim to fame.
no problems and they are 25mm, I'm not sure your observations are solid engineering based as the calculations of weight distribution and torque of the desighn are well over specified for the application.
the concern will only be with wheel bearing life as the center of pressure is now moved further from its design center
im trying to get a set of spacers for my Aston that bolt on 23mm rear and 11 on the front
