Couple of questions for you knowledgeable people.......
Trial fitted the brembo brakes yesterday and I need to fit spacers in order for the wheels to fit. I think 5mm would do it.
Will I need longer wheel bolts for 5mm spacers?
Best place to get spacers from?
With Anni wheels, can I go wider?
What are people running?
What can I space up to on the rear?
Also, what is the electric gubbins on the caliper? Is that a brake pad wear indicator? Does it matter if its not connected?
Sorry for all the questions peeps. Any help appreciated!! :smiley:

Electric connector is the brake pad wear indicator yes...Mine is connected as the plug on the diskpad is bust. Just left with an annoying warning light on your dash and a beep everytime you start the car. I'v learnt to live with it :grin:
Spacers get on fleabay...I'd imagine 5mm you probably would need some hubcentric ones, just to be safe. Longer bolts as well probs... :undecided:

Sweet. Cheers for the info!

if you "think" 5mm is enough, i'd get thicker ones just to be on the safe size. i thought 5mm was enough to clear mine, but ended up with 15mm spacers :lipsrsealed:

Ah.....maybe need to space with washers and then measure with a vernier to ensure it's correct.
Thanks for that!
