spacers for you my friend, think this is a common thing on the fks, sure iv heard a few people say this happens, 3mm spacers should do the trick and wont push the wheel out far at all

edited - i thought it was a common thing but it may not be after bieransri's post, stil 3mm spacers wont do any harm

mine were good for the price. and were the cheapest fk ones not the konigsports.

make sure you copper grease all the threads as they go rusty and then arent adjustable.

another thing, mine needed a full tracking setup because they had an elongated hole where it fixes to the hub as i couldnt for the life of me get it straight.

When i first got the GSi it had spax coilovers and needed 3mm spacers for the GSi alloys to clear them...but have taken them off now.
