DaweV6 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I needed to use 6 mm spacers on the front with both normal 235 mm and 260 mm RS2k brakes. Otherwise the spokes are touching the calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottdow Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Will this mean longer studs are needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaweV6 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Will this mean longer studs are needed? Well..... I didn't put longer ones on it. Too much hassle on the night, said to myself to do it later, never got round it. You know how it works. 6-8mm spacers don't need longer studs, at least I didn't NEED them, felt like a proper cowboy to start with, but ran it with no problems whatsoever for about 4 months (8 000 miles) before I upgraded to cosworth brakes. You can try it and see for yourself, it worked for me, but I don't want to be responsible for your insurance premium going up or something even worse...
