How do you mean by different?
The front and rear axles are the same 4x100 PCD size with a 57.1 centrebore.
Or do you mean whether people tend to run 10mm spacers on the front, 15mm spacers on the rear for example?

While they fit perfectly on the front hub, but because the centre hub on the rear sticks out more (approx 10mm). the spacer does not sit flush against the wheel face???
The spacer inside is only bored to a certain depth perfect for the front. but not the rear.
the spacer in question is very similar to the pic below

Do you have these spacers now Ticki? Or are you asking about a possible purchase?
My FK spacers fit fine on both front and back, and they are the same.

Mine are FK 25mm adaptors, so not spacers so to speak. they're hubcentric also, I bought them second hand so don't know the full spec of them. I can check the box next time I'm home though to see if that helps.
