Default hub adaptors/spacers talk to me

my wheels wont clear my brembos and i know i can get some 15mm hubcentric adaptors to bring front wheels out a bit but can i use the same on the rear to bring them out as the wheels are only 7.5" wide so got plenty of room to do so?

I'd just use normal spacers, mate. Are you sure you'll need as much as 15mm?

Everything go okay yesterday?

but the wheel needs to sit on the centre of the hub to support them?if i use spacers there wont be anything for it to sit.stoo 15mm would be fine as it would bring them out nicely in the arches as after having the 8's on the 7.5 look gayreally nice wheels thoeverything went good mate.had a good day dropping off some parts.great twisty roads.

I'd go hubcentric. Just to be sure. Plus putting your wheels back on with regular spacers is the biggest pain the the arse ever...
