some of the metal on the caliper needs grinding away, or 5mm spacers

a 5mm spacer would have made no difference

tried fitting them but the lug next to the spring on the caliper was very close, so fitted a 3mm spacer and they now fit fine

its the central area where the bolts go thru which is fauling the 2.0l calipers

Agree
I had slight notch in this part after i had new pads but on. Just needed a bit more grinding off the callipers.
The steel wheels dont have such a big central area like the speedlines do.
