Default What size spacer is needed to clear the hub?

Hey, does anyone know if a 10mm spacer would be enough to clear the front hub if the center bore is less than 70.1? For example, putting an AP2 rear on the front...it would effectively make the offset +55, but I think that would be about perfect. Has anyone tried a 10mm one?

A spacer makes the offset lower and a 10mm spacer would take the wheel off the hub. Be careful with lugs and make sure they are long enough.

Generally speaking to do it safely you would bore the center of the wheels to match the hub of the fronts. Not a fan of non-hubcentric spacers.

5mm. Make sure to re-tighten your nuts every once in a while (every other fuel stop). I've been doing it for the past 5k miles with no problems. Except that I over-torqued my wheel lock and it snapped

Find spacers that have pressed in studs and that are hub centric, my opinion, 15mm spacers on all four corners would be nice if using AP2 rears on all four corners, good luck Justin
