Can you put spacers on the front wheels? Ive just gotten a set f lenso rs5's and they catch on the caliper...
I think i will need 10mm because the wheel wont rotate just hits the caliper, will normal 4 stud ones from halfords fit?
Should do mate, but i found halfords to be very expensive, you may be better going to a parts place and asking them.
My wheels wouldnt rotate either, i fitted 5mm because i didnt wanna push the front wheels out to far, and will try with the 3mm ones i bought.
IIRC 10mm spacers in halfrauds are about £15, but them remember that you may need longer bolts to secure the wheel fully.

I just mentioned halfords ones because a friend has a few lying about and i could lend them off him, would i need longer bolts for 10mm?
If your mate has a set, give em a try and see how much of a gap you have then, and maybe then you could reduce it.
Im not sure mate, more than likely would require longer bolts IMO.

Agreed, can get away with non hubcentric 8mm's on the back (although if 8mm hubcentrics were available I would have bought them!!) however I wouldnt like to be running 5mm+ non-Hubcentrics on the wheels that lay down the power.
make sure u get hubcentric if your going above 5mm+ for god sake! i ran 10mm spacers (not hubcentric) up front and the wheel came off doing a right hand turn off a main road. 2 mins down the road is a bypass and if the same had happened then i wouldnt be here now. damaged the wing, door, wheel and nackered all suspension.
i dont trust them any more but just a warning of how inportant these things are.

Normal spacers look like these:
Hubcentric ones look like these:
Basically hubcentric ones are more like an extension to your hub, have the same pcd etc, with a centre bore for your wheel to mount on, whereas normal spacers are just like a sandwich plate, so there's extra strain on your bolts etc, but fine to use in small sizes.

i and a few others on here have had a bad experiene with those make, they are the same as what trackstore sell and they are not machined properly, mine didnt sit correctly on the hub causing the wheels to wobble.
the best ones to get are the eibach spacers, made in germany and a proper quality kit, i got a set off badger 5 on here, think he does them in a few different sizes. dont forget the longer bolts aswell.
