    Default ordering 10mm spacers for stock g8 wheels with 04 cts v rotors

    Just want to verify that is the correct size spacer and if i will need longer wheel studs or not. Everyone has different ideas during my search for the correct answer.

    04 CTS-v rotors are 6 bolt and will not work on the G8 FYI

    A 10mm spacer will allow the stock wheels to clear I think over the CTS-V v1 Brembo calipers but realize that if they are hub-centric, which is best in my opinion, you will need to remove 3.5-4 mm of the pilot boss on the hub. I used a grinder to remove the material myself.

    To do it proper, I believe you need a 15mm spacer that's hubcentric and longer studs. I used Dorman 640-490 I think? I remember reading somewhere that 10mm wasn't enough or wouldn't leave enough thread... or something. I know there was some reason I went 15mm.

    I have a brand new set of studs and spacers I could sell you. I'll have to measure the spacers I forget what size they are.
