I think 10mm spacer might just about squeeze the LM's over the LCR brembos - it would be very tight though. Having said that with 15mm spacers my wheels are right on the legal limit...

    Brakes dont fit behind my LMs

    My LM's of the exact same size also didn't fit over my LRC Brembo's, i ended up getting 15mm hub centric spacers just to be on the safe side, and yeah they we'ren't cheap and also you'll need to get a set of longer wheel bolts and locking nuts too Si

    passenger wing mirror help for 2001 S3

    when some idiot tried to nick my wing mirrors, they snapped the metal cast that attaches the mirror to the car door and left them hanging by the electrical wires, after a bit of research i bought standard A3 wing mirrors (facelift ones) swapped over the aluminium cases and they fitted fine - be...
