wheel spacers

Has anybody used wheel spacers to get front brake caliper clearance?

I've got 6 pot APs with 355mm discs which won't fit under my 18" wheels.

Any advice accepted

Depends on how thick they need to be..... my personal choice would be no thicker than maybe 5mm......

u can fit wider spacers but you will need to replace the studs with longer one .....but its best to get the right wheels to clear te AP kit ( I have the same kit on my P1 )
