While the car was apart i fitted a set of sti brembos to my uk300..

Just been out finishing off and gone to put the wheels back on.. Of course the rears went on fine.
The fronts however need a spacer so the calliper doesnt hit the spokes

Anyone know:

1. How thick a spacer is required? 5 or 10mm?

2. Where i can buy wheel studs that are longer by however thick the spacer is

And there was me thinking after 5 weeks id have it back on the road....

Still using standard UK300 wheels??

Local car shop to me sells 3mm, 5mm, 10mm spacers for about £10, Had to use 5mm spacers to miss my Brembo's!!
Is it only slightly touching the caliper or touching a lot??

Yeah std uk300 wheels. I thought the 18's cleared lol. They are hitting a lot.

Ill send m444gy a pm cheers.

Also looking at the inner part of the hub, it looks like its a hob off job to change the studs over... Ffs

Edit. Pm sent lol

Don't get normal spacers, get hub centric ones at least if you're going spacer route (safer)

It doesn't matter if it's 18" it's all do do with offsets I think the STI offset is ET53!

With spacers your best to go with hub centric as the put less stress on the wheel bolts.
I think iirc when I done it on my classic it's hub off to do change to longer studs

the size and off-set are NOT relevant, its the internal wheel/spoke design.......

the STi wheels have a bigger clearance more akin to a competition wheel

Yeah, i have some eibach 15mm ones in ford fit, but i dont think i need 15mm so no point re drilling them. Unless anyone wants a swap lol?

My wheels say ET53 on them too???

Hopefully then once the stud is knocked out a bit it will give enough angle to extract.

Cheers alyn, i thought it was. Goes as mine were ET53 and 18"... Im sure ive seen the same wheels on a car with the brembos.
Turns out me research wasnt correct lol

Thanks Alyn, hopefully have time tonight to get some m12 washers on the studs and see how thick spacers i need, and then work out what length studs will be required.

what a ballache!

Ok i need 5mm spacers. The hub studs are 40mm long and so far i cannot find any 45mm long.

As it is there should be 10mm of thread to go into the nut, which is about halfway along the flat of the nut.

The studs come out the hubs with them in situ, so thats a bonus lol.

But i can only find studs from 50mm long

The nut will take 20mm depth, so if i get 50's then its going to be bottoming out on the nut...
If i get open nuts, studs and spacers i might as well buy another set of wheels lol

I have the same issue with my new wheels I have just ordered some 16mm spacers and stubs to cure it

Imo bud id go for the eibach 20mm ones that bolt to the hub and have wheel studs coming out the actual spacer.

Not cheap tho!
