My Work VSXX gold project failed today (spacers)

did you ever install those H&R 5mm spacers without longer bolts?

Sorry, I didn't think you'd have a problem with a 42mm offset either. If this is the case then I'd recommend 5mm spacers also. I'm not sure how much spoke design comes into play but this should the offset low enough without going too low.

Do you think 5mm is enough?

If the 5mm if alot then ill hit up the 3mm.

Just stack a few flat washers on the studs until you get clearance,
Measure the stack, then order then next size up from that.

I'll have to measure the clearance on mine, but again, with my +38 offset, I do not have an issue with spoke & caliper clearance. As the spoke design might be a factor (I have Work Varianza's and the spokes are slightly curved), I'd also recommend trying it out with washers first, as it seems like the most cost effective way.

well good news.
I just got back from the tyre shop who didn't charge me anything to test fit the 5mm spacer. The spacer worked well and now there is enough clearance (say 4mm atleast) for the front brake. The rears dont need spacers at all but they suggested it to keep the same offset on all 4 wheels.
We also got 7 turns (more even) using the open ended Work Wheels P1.25 lugnuts.
I will post pics of the lug nut, hub centric ring and spacer soon. Time to order the H&R spacers.
Imp question: Since I will order the H&R 5mm spacer, what size bolts will I need. I know I need ones with an extra 5mm to accomodate the spacer. But what is the size of the stock bolt?
Thanks for all your help.

Sorry, I do not understand what you are saying. You were just suggesting to him to try either a 3mm/5mm spacer. That would make his offset +39/+37 respectively. If offset does not matter, why do you suggest the spacers?
Are you saying that all O-Disc VS-XX don't clear non-brembo's, period?

If you get H&R, the bolts come with the kit.

I still suggest a 3mm spacer if you have 4mm of clearance, that way, you don't have to change the bolts out at all and its perfectly safe and cheap. I think they can be had for ~$20 a pair from most autoparts stores
