ECS Stage 5 brake upgrade - Caliper Clearance
I've just purchased the ECS Stage 5 brake upgrade and now have to sort out the caliper clearance issue...
I was told I would need roughly 10mm spacers, I was wondering if these might cause problems? Is it better to upgrade to wider alloy wheels even though it's a great expense?
I'd like a bit of feedback regarding the spacers....

A minimum of a 12mm spacer must be used to clear the stock Huff & Omanyt wheels on the Mk5.
They are much cheaper compared to new alloys. So that decision is all yours. Here are the spacers:
