Default Brembo's < my rims

Hey guys my new brembos are too big for my nice advanti's... I don't have enough money for new rims at the moment because I'm in the middle of a 6 speed conversion, should I for now use 8-10mm spacers until I have enough for new rims? And what offset rims fit brembo's? Thnx

I don't mean to sound rude, but it seems like you have made your mind up anyway ie. use spacers until you can buy new rims. If this is your choice, then go with it, but know that it is not going to be the safest option!
THE best and safest options would be to, as said, but some 02 sti rims, or put off your conversion until you can do it properly.
Take the advise that is given, or drive around at your own risk....and hope nothing goes wrong. Correct me if I am wrong, but insurance does not like spacers, and neither would I if you crashed into me or my family because you used spacers and your wheel nuts didnt have enough of the stud to bite onto
