Wilwood brake package not fitting with Panasports...
The big brake package looks fantastic but my 15x8 Panasport contacts the Calipers. Looks like I could add a wheel spacer- 1/8" would probably be enough to clear but would I need to swap out the studs? I could also remove a bit a material from the wheels but would be difficult to do evenly. I am a little concerned about contact with the fenders if they go out too much.
Has only one else delt with this already?
Will the studs require replacement if the wheels are pushed out 1/8? At what point would they need to be replaced?

I believe 1/4" is the max on stock studs, depending on how thick your wheel hub is. There's a minimum amount of threads you want engaged to be safe. 3-4 if I recall correctly.
So 1/8" or 5mm spacers are fine.

I just ordered these in 5mm. They look like flowers and would look fabulous on the miata.

Wanted to update the post....Stacked some washers and then went out and picked up a 1/4" spacer and the calipers just clear (it's close!). So if you have Panasports and want the Wilwood big brake kit everyone is selling (currently $499 with rotors, calipers, ss lines, pads) you will need 1/4" spacers to clear the wheels.
I'll finish this up today then on to the Meth system and injectors.... hope to get it all finished today.
