Brembos don't fit.

[GTi_Red]

Got my self a set of LCR brembos and done a dummy fit today to see of the fit and typically they don't, now what I need is some spacers as the caliper is against the wheel. Can anyone help me reference the spacers, are they a bad idea? What ones to get, how much are they and stuff?
Cheers
That's the gap with the wheel touching the caliper

Im going through a similar process.. Ive got 10mm hubcntric spacers and now have less than 1mm clearance :/

Hubcentrics are on ebay for not too much, i was using FK. Theyre not a bad idea but ive noticed with 35mm adaptors on the front with porsche alloys does give slight vibration through the steering wheel at high speed. 10-15mm on the fronts wont be noticeable.

Wellspacedout.co.uk do good value spacers. They do sets of four 15mm hubcentrics for like £60 delivered

I think 15-20 mm will be enough, how much clearance do you think is needed?

Cheers do you think I'll need to put spacers on the rear if I'm doing the front?

Only for visual reasons, but to be honest 15mm shouldn't be too visible. I would get four anyway just for consistency, the rears could often do with a bit of spacing out, depends on the et of the wheels.

If you get your wheels balanced with the adapters on it will get rip of the vibrations. Thats what I did with mine and ive never had any vibration at all! I have porsche wheels too, Its a good thing to do...

To do that do you bolt the spacer to the wheel then balance it?

Yep that's how you do it. Should work a treat

I didn't bolt my spacer to the wheel and it was still ok

space between wheel and caliper should be at least 4mm,
while driving everything works, specialy when braking hard etc, youre brakes and also the wheel can reach hot temperatures.
metal increases in volume when it's hot so it might touch if it's to close.
friend in a subaru had this happening while driving on the nurburgring... not a pretty sight, can tell you that
