Default draglite 15x4 2.25 BS..spacer?

i bought the 2.25 bs cuz all the pics ive seen they look the best kinda tucked more then the 1.75 bs. did you guys use a spacer? how much grinding should i expect if i dont run one. i didnt try to fit them up yet, im still fitting the 15x8 rears. im just curious as to how your wheels fit and what i should expect.

I've got them on my CETA. I had to grind the calipers and I don't remember what size spacer I used

yeah i know,funny you responded. your car was one of the ones i was lookin at . i liked the stance, your fronts seemed tucked real nice. i wanted to not use spacers at all. im just hoping i can get away with not using them.

oh man thanks. great pics. your tires are tucked perfectly. way more then a lot of other skinnys i see even wth the spacers.. it doesnt look like a lot of grinding on the fronts. i think i took off more on my rears then you did with the fronts...lol. you were able to use the stock studs and a spacer with the front? im amazed it fit, i got ARP longer studs for front and rear.

Yeah it still has the stock studs in the front but I'm putting ARPs in when I get back. I didn't grind anything on the rear because my pads are worn, I ran a 1/8" spacer on the rear with 3" ARP studs.

that pattern is from the stock wheels but yes I am running a spacer on the front. I think there are two 1/8" spacers but don't remember for sure
