Has anyone experience with a combination of both? I have 4 pot brakes on my corsa and had 10mm (each side) spacers to clear the caliper. They were not hub centric so produced a slight wobble. I have been looking to find some hub centric ones with the collar for centring the wheel but I am finding it hard.
Eibach & H&R only seem to do 15mm each side in hub centric. Has anyone else used another brand?
Would anyone recommend me getting the 15mm ones and getting them machined down a few mm off the back??
Any input would be appreciated..

I had this issue years ago.. speedlines just dont cover big brakes which is a real shame as they are one of the nicest wheels for a corsa/nova. Its just unsafe taking the weight of the car on the wheel bolts. If you want to keep the brakes.. loose the wheel matey 
Ive seen loads at the shows.. people do it. I just think its dodgey

Well you see I have had them on the car with nearly 4 years, it's just I'm swapping them to a new Corsa and was thinking of getting better spacers.. On my old corsa I got spare hubs and my brother cut the collar off the spare hubs and welded it to my own to extend them out, it was a tidy job as he work in a steel fabrication company.. So they had the extra support but it was alot of hassle and work and I just felt that these Hub Centric spacers where a better option..

I had the same, speedlines with an early set of Reylands..
My tip, don't do it! Get some bigger wheels...
Or fabricate something like before?

If you fancy it get yourself a set of softstars. Unlike speedlines they cleared my 4 pots fine with 310mm discs.

Ive got reylands, with 5mm alloy spacers (off a punto iirc) to fit behind my speedlines.
No wheel wobble at all.

I dont see peoples problem really with them.. the ones I have are threaded into the bell on the disc, they dont move and are 4x100 and the proper centre bore, was just wondering if people knew where I could get the same, 10mm ones with a collar to hold the wheel as I'm not goona get rid or either the brakes or the wheels..
