   Anyone doing the above?
   
   some cheap ones in the classifieds, will go and collect tomorrow, just not sure if the clearance will be ok?
   
   apologies for the shit thread, after a quick answer and thought someone must be running/tried this setup.

   I seem to remember that when I tried mine, it was a no-go. Older style Hispecs, the ones stamped Billet 4 instead of the Hispec logo though, not sure if itll make a difference.

   I had 205GTI rims over mine but used 20mm spacers all round
   
   This is a pic over the WP Pro 6 pots with 285mm discs before the change
   
   
   
   The balance weights had to go over the rim lips though and not stuck on the inside due to the minimal clearance!

   Thanks for that, I have the newer style but yeah no idea if it will make a difference.
   
   Would they not fit without the spacers 180? If I have to buy spacers it would defy the point of me buying the cheap wheels.
   
   cheers for the help lads

   They definitely wouldn't fit without the spacers
