The next project for my 914 is converting to 5-lug suspension. I have the front struts and rear hub from a 1972 911 to start with.

The rear will have vented rotors. I have some questions about doing this part of the conversion.

Two questions:
1) Will I need longer studs in the rear? Before adding the spacer, a lug would catch with 11 rotations on a stud. After adding the spacer, a lug catches with only 8 rotations.

2) When I add the spacer, the rotor is no longer centered perfectly on the hub. How do I center the rotor on the hub?

Hub with spacer and rotor. 911 rotor has been cut by Eric Shea. Thanks E.

With the spacer, the lug only catches with 8 revolutions, down from 11 in its stock state. Is this enough or do I need longer studs?

With the spacer, the rotor lip that centers it on the hub now misses the hub because of the spacer. How do I center the rotor now? Do I use just the 2 little hold-on screws to center?
