Default Spacers needed

Hi all..i've been doing some upgrades to my96 wagon basically uprating all 4 corners..everything is fine apart from one small hitch..my newly brought and refurbished 4 pot calipers won't allow me to get my front wheels on by a few millimeters..could anyone help with some advice on maybe using spacers if so where would i be able to buy them..many thanks in advance

i've attached a picture of my wheels and new setup

i had the same problem as you same wheels same size discs , the spacers i bought were 10mm with longer studs the only prob with that is thay rub the black bit under the arch on the edge other than that thay were fine the spacer were bought from halfords 12.99
this one with the spacer off but get the idear with the marks


and these are the 10mm spacer i would say anthing over 5mm would be ok

There's a company on e-bay that do some really good quality ones, either 3 or 5 mm ones.

Which braided hoses did you buy? Am doing the upgrade in a few weeks and am thinking that a braided line kit will be a good idea.
