Default Brembo classic conversion wheel spacers

I''m putting some sti brembo's on a classic. I currently have 17" newage WRX wheels.
I have the fitting kit for the back and these should clear.
The fronts will not, does anyone know if they'll clear with a wheel spacer and if so whats the smallest I could get away with? I'm hoping just 5 or 10mm.

Found the answer using search, you need some eibach 10mm and the how to thread is here, for reference you can get them for about £65 a pair from Germany incl shipping rather than the £100 a pair they seem to be in the UK. Part no: :S90-6-10-003 EAN: 4050278021098

Good info there but for me i'd probably just look to get some STI wheels rather than run spacers

I agree with you ideally. Many in the track going R35 community use spacers on high power cars without issues so I'm pretty comfortable with the idea as long as they are not too wide.
