Hi there E55 Kev. I guess I wasn't really aware of the need for a spacer. Everything seems fine and the wheels rotate without any rubbing etc but there is some scraping when turning beyond 3/4 lock in reverse that would probably be solved with a spacer of sorts. Do you know where I can get one by any chance? Thanks for the tip!
Do a search on this forum - others have had to use a 5mm spacer up front. A wheel shop should be able to get them. A spacer if needed keeps the rim/tire from going inward too much. The SRT8 uses a different "knuckle" design on the brake.
Sean - those wheels look freakin awesome!! I'm very jealous! No, seriously, what a huge difference they make to the look of the car. Looks bloody fantastic mate - good pick up. Can't wait to go for a spin in it and check out the difference in ride and handling.

Thanks Shane. I'm amazed at the difference in the look myself and the ride is definately firmer. I'm hoping to drop by at M&G3 for a short while to say g'day before going away again so I'd love to take you for a spin. I also saw a thread in the wheel/tyre discussion section about someone getting the SRT rims for about US$290 each so that may be a pretty attractive avenue for you too. See you soon, Sean.
With regards to the spacer on the front before you do anything it would be wother talking to the dept. transport. If you aren't having and major problems it might not be worth the hassle. The reason I say this is that in QLD it is against the law to use spacers so you might be voiding your insurance if you use it. Might be different down your way though.

Good point Pusbum. I do believe spacers are illegal here too.
Snoop, I would have a close inspection done to see if it is really needed. We can compare the clearance against SRT61 too.
