subaruski Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Yeah the brembo calipers barely my GC07s. Is this safe? I mean they are really really close. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/Subaruski/My%20cars/PC210595.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/Subaruski/My%20cars/PC210596.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/Subaruski/My%20cars/PC200593.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Too close. During hard cornering the bearing can flex and the wheel will touch the caliper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05gtlimited300 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 those will work fine. just know 5mm the max you should go before you need to change your studs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruski Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 those will work fine. just know 5mm the max you should go before you need to change your studs I couldn't find anything smaller then that. I would like to go smaller like you said before 2-3mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPerron Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 That's very expensive for a single spacer. I got four for significantly less than the price you'll pay for one. Contact http://www.prestigewheel.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05gtlimited300 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 could also try wheeldude....http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noswad Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Looks like it has rubbed already in the 2nd pic looking at the caliper under the spoke.

JoeFromPA Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Could be wrong, but those H&R are for a set (not a single one). Those are some high quality spacers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05lgt5spd Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If you get a trunk spoiler It will cause the downforce to cool your calipers, causing them to shrink, therefore giving you more clearance. I know just the guy with a spoiler for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vduber Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 ..., try to use the smallest wheel spacer possible considering using them puts a very large load on the studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoc Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I thought GC07s were made specifically to clear the Brembos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo08816 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 ..., try to use the smallest wheel spacer possible considering using them puts a very large load on the studs. Well, if the studs aren't long enough you could always try super glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaruski Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Got my set of 3mm spacers in from Wheeldude. I'll be putting them in tonight but man i really don't want to. Spacers seem sketchy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPerron Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not sketchy. Just torque your wheels properly and recheck after a few miles. I roadrace on 5 mm spacers with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeislord Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Got my set of 3mm spacers in from Wheeldude. I'll be putting them in tonight but man i really don't want to. Spacers seem sketchy... Don't be afraid of them. I know people running spacers considerably bigger than 3mm with no issues, ever. Some people on the forums here exaggerate the risk. Just use proper torque spec and check them the first 50, 100, 200, 300, 500 miles and then periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
