I don't see how they could be mounted behind the brake discs because you can't move the brake caliper. Wheels spacers attach to the rotor hub between the brakes and the wheels.

Send the company an email for verification.

First thing, whatever spacers you get make sure they are hubcentric. You will have vibration otherwise. I hope you meant Eibach pro spacers? those are the kind which bolt on the wheel hub (not behind the rotors) and then you bolt on the wheels to the studs on the spacers. I have the same setup on mine. It is pretty safe. I have had my spacers (25mm) all around for all this year and had no issues at all. Good luck.

These were before I lowered my car. They actually look a lot better lowered. I got the spacers from a guy here on the forum. I think someone is selling eibach spacers on here somewhere, search and you might find.

PM me and i can assist you with your spacing needs. There is some technical data you will need to acquire to make sure the size you want will work with your wheels.
