BBK safety face caliper clearance on spokes

(1/2) > >>

kylej1:
Fitting a BBK but trying to avoid spacers, have 1.5mm clearance on the face of R8 calipers till the spokes, running 19x8 bbs ck wheels with et44 and dont want to go a mark the face of the new r8 calipers, what clearance have you guys got on the BBKs on your cars

thanks

bacillus:
Ouch, slap a 3mm spacer in there...

kylej1:
I maybe able to take 1mm off the carrier to allow the caliper back in, what clearance would be advisable? Have a 3mm spacer but don't fancy using them long term as I hate when the wheel isn't resting on the hub

bacillus:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but with 3mm spacer there should still be some protruding hub for the rim to sit on.

Depends on the wheels, but yes a 3mm spacer should still allow the wheel to rest on the hub.
