are they 8" wide matt? if they arn't then your brakes won't fit fella

will be coming to pay a visit very soon paul with regards the car,

hopefully now i can get the brakes on before croft, also won an auction just before for a set of original brand new leon cupra r pads,

all i should need now is the brackets and pad holding kit for the calliper,

depends on the colour of alloys ie silver, black or anthracite cos that means taking tyres off etc and one tyre has a nail in it so we decided to half the courier cost between us

should be all ok but if they are et40 does that mean they sit sloser to the suspension than et35 wheels ?

and cheers regards the spacers hopefully i can make some progress now
