   Do you need spacers to fit Hispecs behind VTS wheels? If so what size?
   
   And does anyone know where to get them from? Links?
   
   Thanks

   that would definately clear it but might be a bit overboard and may have issues with the tyres scraping in the arches
   
   if your unsure then just get a handful of washers adding one on each bolt at a time until you dont have any clearance issues (dont drive the car like this). then take the bolts out and see how much mm of washers you needed.
   
   I have read on saxp it was 10mm needed

   You have not said what Hispec brakes or what model VTS wheels you have. They do ones that will fit under VTS wheels with no spacers.

    Id rather buy a different offset disc and space the caliper back.
