Bit of a dilemma.

Just fitted S3 brakes. Gone to put new wheels on, and calipers catch spokes, a lot!

Fronts are 19 x 8.5 et45. BBS LM reps (yes yes I know OEM ftw etc)

Should I be having problems?!
 
LMs are a pretty deep spoke, and depending on how the reps sit in relation to the hub you could have issues. The problem is more likely due to the S3 having a different hub so your brakes will be sitting further out than the equivalent on an S3, as well as being wider calipers.
 
I've put standard ones back on for now.
Bit of a bummer.

I could space the fronts a bit, but both sure how much I need. Probably try and borrow some 5 and 10mm spacers then test fit.

I'll speak to N8 as well, he might know how much I'll need.
