donnylad Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hi guysI have fitted Brembo fronts to my wrx uk 300 today.The wheels wont go out without hitting the caliper, so I have bolted on some 5mm spacers that I had, problem now is there is only 5-8mm ish of thread going into the nut.I have 2 options that I can think of:1 remove the disks, hub and buy and fit longer studs.2 fit hubcentric spacers of around 10-15mmIf I go option 2, which I think I rather would as its a lot easier and faster, then where can I get some decent quality 10 12 or 15mm spacers??If I put them on the front, should I put them on the back 2 to keep the wheel width the same if that makes sense?Any help appreciated! Want to get something ordered tomorrow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hub centric ones are best, you'll need to put them on all 4 corners or the track will be different front/rear which will cause issues, eibach and others do spacers, could try www.scoobyparts.com Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnylad Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 if I go for longer studs will I need to fit new bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnylad Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 I am going to go and measure the clearence now, but if these will fit hopefully they will do it?https://www.carnoisseur.com/products...baru-impreza-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Do you need 5mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnylad Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 to be honest I need around 3.5mm to leave me 1mm gap from the caliper. I am going to look at swapping wheels I think as i dont fancy running spacers, I think it will affect the handling. I have just put a post in the wheels and tyres section :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I'm running "happy shopper" 3mm spacers so my brembos fit under my rota boosts [emoji55] I've done about 4k mls without any issues, think they were £12 from a local "motomainia" shop . I wouldn't use them any bigger than 3mm without longer studs . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnylad Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 I tried 3mm and it left nothing, they wernet scraping but I would imagine I could get .2 shim in them. To be that wasnt enough to be safe. Dont know if they can move, expand with heat or anything, but id want atleast 0.5mm clearence. I am also running the alloy lightened wheel nuts which I am going to swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffLeggy Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I was going to say 3mm should do you and keep decent stud but do whatever your happy and safe with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Mine just touched the calipers without spacers , so there's about 2.8 mm of clearance with the cheap spacers fitted . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
