Default 15x10 pro stars..no spacer?

anyone successfully got them on w/o a spacer? i know im going to have to grind like crazy but i dont like running spacers on the rear wheels and id prefer not to put very long studs in the rear because these are weekend only rims. (track use) if not whats the smallest spacer u have used.

Yea, you'll have to grind a good bit, but they fit without spacers. It's just a trial and error process. Grind, put the wheel on, see if it rubs, pull wheel off and grind, etc. etc. I spent over an hour on each caliper.

You STILL need long studs. The studs will barely pass 1/2 way through the wheel.

You will JUST about pass tech with 2.5" studs. With spacers, you need at least 3" studs.
