Muzza is right you need between 14-17mm preload or you will blow the seal out. I know, I did it on the Supercar, same setup. You can buy a spacer, I think there is a 6mm one available. If you can't get one in Sydney then NPC in Brisbane have them.
Alternatively you could make one out of a piece of 6mm plate... Don't forget the longer bolts.
