On the rears I'm not sure how much of a spacer you would have to run to get away without grinding. It'd be a fairly large one though.

i dont want to grind all that much, these are for the track, and some street if someone wants to go from a stop. i just think a spacer would save me some grinding, i hope.

^^^ Nice T/A you had there in your sig pic, but where did you get that lift kit from? sorry you made fun of a SS, just had to get ya back.
