So Christine is at the shop and they just called to say that the front wheel doesn't clear the new Brembo caliper. He thinks a 5mm spacer should do it, and a local place has them in stock so they're getting them and putting them on.

Thing being is they're not hubcentric spacers. They're only 5mm spacers though. I plan on finding some and getting them put on if it clears, but just how bad is it to drive with stud centered spacers when everything is bolted down? The wheels came with hubcentric rings, would those help to leave on?

also, what's the bore size of our hubs so I can get the right hubcentricspacers?

Update: the 5mm spacer clears, yay!

So where's a good place to get a 5mm hubcentric spacer that fits our cars?

I use a 3mm Spacer thats not hubcentric. If the wheel isnt shaking you should be fine.

Hub diameter for the G8 is 66.9 mm.

I've seen it mentioned as 67.1 too... where's a reputable place to find out?

Are you saying I'm not reputable? jk!

Several of our HSV replica wheels are 66.9 hub bore and those are the hub centric wheels for G8. It has been written in some places as 67.1, but that is not accurate.

66.9 is not correct. G8 uses a 67.1 hub bore. I doubt you will find a hub and wheel centric spacer less than 10mm. The bore sticks out 10mm remember. I know Adapterkings.com doesn't make a hub, wheel centric spacer less than 10mm.

I should say a 66.9 will fit. But all my spacers I have had made at 67.1 are nice and snug on hub bore and wheel bore. FYI.
