Prob spacers. They DO clear at the rear: mine are fitted using Ian's "Godspeed" brackets and handbrake shoes.

At the front, I have Godspeed Brembos and 325mm discs, which DO clear.

They can put extra force onto the hubs, BEARINGS and drive shafts, due to the weight of the wheel not being where it was designed to be.

Unless you get really good ones, they can work loose, or cause the whole wheel to run untrue.
