Already have 18's on the car (Yes, I tried the search button)Not sure what you mean Alan. You don't have to change the wheel studs because you're fitting UK brakes. Or are you saying that you'll need spacers and longer studs because your existing wheels won't fit over the new UK brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Spacers are part of the kit, so I figured that I might need longer studs if I fitted the spacers. Will find out if I need to use the spacers when they arrive on Thursday, hopefu;;y wheels might be clear of calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK brakes don't come with, or need, any spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 I did, the brakes were on it when he bought ir so he didn't know. If I need them it will be my present stud length + the spacer size - was just trying to get ahead of the game and get them ordered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
