Need to move my back wheels out by 2-3mm to stop rubbing on shockers. have about 5mm till tyre reaches level with the outer gaurd (so it will be legal. Just wondering if they make those spacer things in 5mm, I have seen them acouple of cm thick before, just wondering what to do :?

13secmini had the same problem (but at front) when he put Rover wheels onto Honda brakes.
I got 2 steel spacers (6mm thick) from a Fiat 124 and redrilled them.
Many european cars used these.

Most spacers I've seen hanging in shops are those things with the 4 slotted holes in them. Might fit, but check the slots are not too wide.

Yes, I know spacers are supposedly illegal/unlawful..... :lol: but at least these don't have the nasty and dangerous screw on extension studs... :shock:

Steve at Brickworx....... he has heaps of em lying around the workshop.... 4mm and wider. Go see him. :wink: Just be careful - the wheel nut will not fully thread onto the stud with the spacer fitted, you may need to upgrade to extended studs too.
