Default Wheel Spacers

Let me tell you guys whats going on. I purchased a set of new 14" StopTech front brakes. I was very excited and didn’t think twice about them clearing my 19" Work Meisters with a +25mm offset. I did a basic test fit, and needless to say they don't clear the spokes. I put the brakes up for sale, but a friend of mine suggested that I get a small wheel spacer to get these to fit. I'm not too keen on rigging things to work; I would rather do it the right way first time around. My question is do they make any 2-3mm hubcentric spacers? If so where can I buy them?

If not who wants to buy my brakes!? If I sold them I would be in the market for OEM Brembos.

Thanks for the help.

I don’t know about 2 or 3 mm spacers. If you want to move the wheels then do it with 5 or 10 mm spacers.

My wheels up front are 19x9.5 with +25mm offset 245/35-19 Pilot Sport 2s, which already looks fairly agressive. Think I would scrape with a 5mm spacer? If I was to do the fronts I would do the backs as well.

You shouldn't rub. From what I've seen around here, there are people running more aggresive offsets on the same wheel and tire setup than what you have or would even have with a 5mm spacer added in there.

Where can I buy hubcentric 5mm spacers that will work with my Work Meisters? Would I still use the hubcentric rings that came with the wheels also? I figure I should space them out 5mm on all 4 corners to keep the look the same.

You will be fine w/ a 5mm spacer.
