Default Spacers in the rear?

Soon I am going to have a set of 15x8 draglites on the rear of my 98 camaro. I will have bfg street tires on them for now and they will be street driven.

My question is this: I don't really want to grind much, so how much of a spacer should I run? In other words, how much gets ground down for you guys that just grind and don't run a spacer?

I will be going to a 3.5 inch ARP wheels studs to make sure I have enough threads for the lug nuts with the spacer. This is the one.

I was thinking about a 1/2 inch spacer. I don't care if they stick out a little, just don't wanna grind...and I definitely wanna be safe about it all.

Does the new studs and spacers sound good with these or will I still have to grind some for the draglites. These are stock brakes and weld draglites.

Those are the right studs, correct?

I think they are. Someone has to have done this before. I searched, but maybe didn't find the right thread.

Any body? I figured I would get more hits. Or does everybody just grind?

No, they were 4.5 bs so they didn't really rub.
