As long as they have the a wheel locating ring, they will be fine. I wouldn't use any that didn't have this.

How you gonna do that with a 5mm spacer Mike?

The hub center is more than 5mm deep!

I ran 5mm spacers for years without any problems.

5mm is about ok...i have run them on std studs....Halford sell em for about 12 quid the pair.

All this time and effort you have gone to, to fit these brakes & get new wheels...would have been easier to buy a new set of AP's.

Standard (non hubcentric) 5mm ones will be fine if your bolts are long enough.

Get around 8mm onwards and as Mike says, get hubcentric ones for safety

Rich,
Do I really have to explain it to you?

A lot of wheels are universal fitment and have collars that insert in the wheel to allow correct location on the hub. If it has these, then you can remove them and / or bore the wheel out to suit. Expensive, but will mean that the wheel fits perfectly without issue. I would not use any car on track that did not have the wheels properly centered in this way.
