Default Azev A's on a saph cossie

I have azev A's on my saph i bought brembo 4 pot's off loader on here with 330 mm discs.The asevs are hitting the caliper & there is already a 8mm spacer there.Has anyone had this prob with the azev's? loaders wheels didnt touch the calipers.A mate had the same probs with his golf with azev's & ap brake kit,he ended up selling the wheels i really dont want to.
If i use wheel studs that are much longer the centre caps wont go on.

How much more spacing do they need!!!??

Perhaps get some 10-15mm hubcentric spacers instead if you can still get clearance on the arches with these on.

Surely the studs arent going to be an issue because if you get longer ones the larger spacers will take up the difference so the end of the stud wont vary - unless of course you get 10mm larger studs & 5mm spacers!??

Also I believe that you need to get 6-7 full turns on the wheel bolts when tightening as a safe guide if this helps you?

Not into white & gold euan, i do like the 18' new style ones that were on a white saph with the chrome roll cage ect it looked really good but cant be bothered with rubbing & could do with the 1 odd grand for other things
