5mm spacers on standard studs?
Hi all,i bought a set of 4 pots for my RA,get rid of the crap 2 pots! I spent all day yesterday cleaning them,and painting em up to fit today,and quite pleased with them too!
Trouble is my wheel hits them!
I cut some ally into shims,and have decided i need to buy a 5mm spacer to clear the wheels. Can i do this on standard studs? Will i need to do the rears as well?
Thanks,Mit

You'll get away with using standad length studs and 5mm spacers (halfords sell these by the way if you're after some quick).
As long as the hubs spigot ring still engages with the wheels, then you should have zero problems.
I run 10mm spacers on the fronts and 5mm on the back. The fronts to clear brembo's, and the rears were already there. Can't feel the difference personally.
