i have universal spacers on the front of my saff to clear the calipers!the wheels locate fine you just have to fiddle with the wheel height until you mange to get the stud lined up!getting them machined would be costly in my opinion!

I used some spacers from Demon Tweeks made by Simoni Sport Action which have the spiggot on them, but they are a minimum of 15mm because of this.

matt you may not need locators on em as the spigott will still stick out i us 3mm on mine no probs with no location either as it sticks out a further 3 mm.

My mate has 7mm I think on his S2 and the locator is well inside that so his wheel is only located by the wheel bolts.... Then on the way back form a show I went passed him and noticed his wheel was not central

Nuts_RS also does/did locating spacers I believe....
