    very close to wheel, dont know if they require spacers, also with the brakes they squeak like fuck, there are some discs and pads you can fit to stop this, but not sure what they are, danny knows i just cant remember, altho hes fitted them and havin some problems with caliper

    oh right, i think its explained in the sticky thread on which discs to use.
    
    he said they clear his s'turismo wheels, and i think they clear pro race 1.2's.
    
    need big spacers for fitting behind vts rims tho.
