You can fit 308mm V6 brakes under then.

yes it is true. you will need 5mm spacers (can get away with 3mm sometimes, depending on how much pad material is left)

its not the size of the disc thats a limiting factor its the shape of the caliper. we tried to get a speedline over a 308 v6 setup and needed 10mm spacers, and 12mm spacers to clear 300mm 4 pots.

I have fitted speedlines to 3 cars with 2litre brakes. all have needed spacers. depends on the brake pads in a lot of cases as if the pads are low you will have more clearance.

why dont you buy 3mm spacers if you need them then your going to have to use them and if you can get away without it then just take the spacers back to where you bought them from.
