I agree. I would not use spacer myself. How hard to replace the hub? Is it just unbolt and bolt on.

Do you have the part no. for the hub and studs you can share?

The part catalogue to so confusing. They put 380 mm brake system under 20” wheels I think it should be 22” wheels. I have seen 20” wheels car came with 365mm brake system.

hello and good morning,
The job is not difficult, the problem is that it requires specific equipment, without these everything becomes more complicated.
The hub number for the 380 mm discs is lr147396.
then you need an extractor for the wheel hub and to unhook the axle shaft, you must not be faint-hearted for this, to extract you must use the very strong mallet on the extractor.
Another difficulty is the hub bolts, here you need a special key, RIBE m13, the bolts interfere with the axle shaft, you need a long insert,
even a short one is better.
These bolts will have to be tightened to LR specification, really strong, you need a key with a very long lever (at least 60cm).
I also add that the procedure for bleeding the brake system requires the service position, which can be inserted manually, or with a tool, Gap or Pathfinder, then a simple pressure bottle is needed to work at 2 bar on the system.

Thanks so much for the info.

Maybe it is not worth the hassle since mine is already 365mm system. The gain will not be that much.
