Default Series 1 with 300mm discs and calipers

I have bought some 300mm discs and mk3 mondeo calipers for my S1 project, looking at fitting them it looks like I need 20mm spacers between the calipers and the hubs ? Is this correct ? Or am i missing something ?
Also tryed fitting my 16 inch RS7's with the 300mm discs and calipers it it looks like they are going to catch. any ideas ?
Cheers

If you use st170 discs, and the mondeo caliper, it should be a 12mm spacer from memory.
