The issue with running spacers is that you could run into arch clearance probs on the front.

I suppose spacers is the only route I can go at the moment.
I can't take the alloys off and replace them with the cracked ones as no where will do that.  :sad:
I need the car daily so I cant afford to send the alloys back and wait for a new pair.

Just to show that the wheels say they're ET35. Sorry about the quality (mobile phone camera)

Question....

If the wheels are ET35... could the shape of the wheel spokes cause a problem if running on the bigger 288mm brakes???

Could this be a case???

I assume they are unless the company I bought them from has made a mistake?
