BBR might sell them also.
How far out do you want to go? MOT MOTORSPORT 5mm Wheel Spacers
The I.L.Motorsport ones as above from MX-5 Parts, just be aware that there was a recall on the 15mm spacers due to a bad batch, so they aren’t likely to be in-stock again for quite some time. (I’m still waiting on other I.L.Motorsport parts from MX-5 Parts that i bought in the November Black Friday sale).
Popular choice is 15mm front & 20mm rear, but don’t forget to notify your insurer as I ended up having to move insurer because they wouldn’t cover the car with them fitted (fortunately my policy wasn’t far off ending anyway).
I have the IL Motorsport 25mm spacers
I would say they are pushing the limits so would advise 20mm max.
I also bought mine from MX-5 Parts.
PS. Do we need two topics covering this @stephenraw…?

No stock at the moment
Like Gareth mentioned above, I had to return my IL Motorsports 15mm spacers to MX5 Parts due to a recall. I have an RF LE, and had 15mm all round.
I am lowered on Meister R coilovers, so 15mm was as wide as I could go, also the standard Bridgestone tyres are very skinny, so if you go with different tyres, even the same size they are likely to be bigger. The rear track is already a little wider as standard, so I didn’t want to exaggerate it any more.
However, given the recall, I got a full refund, I decided to go with new wheels with an ET30 offset. It made me rethink running spacers. Lots of people dislike them, but I didn’t have an issue, just make sure they are good quality, and torqued up properly, and check them periodically.
