10mm doesn't look like enough.

you may want to go to a 15mm.

and just FYI as seen here Work recommends the +28mm, which is oddly right about where you need to be...

well i'll try the 10mm ,and if it doesn't work,there'll be another set of them up for sale

it's not like they're gonna get any closer to the caliper, so even if it was .5mm of caliper clearence, that'd be fine with me

at the limit things do flex.

Personally I'd like 3 or 4mm at least of clearance.

it's much better to learn before you buy anything.

I'm getting some emails about people who ordered from Spun and have brembos.

I may need to write something up on available 15mm spacers for 5x100

munky69 · 02-22-2008, 07:04 AM

it's all good

i'll have to think about if i really want to run a +29 up front with +39 in the rear.

T3h_Clap · 02-22-2008, 09:19 AM

if you're going to run that low of an offset might as well run the 18x9.5 +30mm front and 18x9.5 +38mm rear.

munky69 · 02-22-2008, 01:25 PM

yeah but i can't get those now.. it'll be 18x9.5 xt7 in gunmetal if these are no go. they should ship to me next week

17-9 (44mm 10mm spacer) 34mm clears....the 18's came in 38mm so with a 5mm spacer aka 33mm should be close....
