They won't fit over 06-08 OEM wheels, as I would have run my standard wheels otherwise on mine. You'll need a big spacer (min 15mm) or Something like Enkei PF01's/RPF1's/Rota Fighters etc.

Thanks guys.
I have purchased 15mm spacers for all wheels.
These will arrive and be fitted next Tuesday. Cutting it fine for Megameet.

I'd get the spoons refunded and just stick with OEM!

^^ Agree.
Don't like spacers,it stresses bearings arms and joints and magnifies any issues,inc wobble on braking, & general handling issues to overcome.

I agree with the spacers comment. But with appropriate wheels, the stopping power of these callipers is very good.

With decent disks and pads and properly serviced calipers ( and at legal road speeds ) so are the OEM ones. You don't need 6 pots on a road car for any other reason than willywangling in carparks or at shows.
