Actually if you run the RIGHT spacers there are no problems
I know alot of road racers who run them For my ET street Wheels i have to run 1in spacers. My Bogarts($855 a set of two BTW) have them welded on. I may see about having that done to the front wheels to

I run a 5/16" spacer up front with my 15x3.5" weld prostars. I didnt have to touch the caliper. It was hitting on the brake pad clip. I put on new rotors and pads at the same time, so I'm sure thats why it was hitting.
I dont see a problem running a spacer up front as long as you get longer wheel studs and use the correct lugs. A few people try to run them with stock studs and they dont have enough threads to hold and will strip out and you may loose a wheel, or two. So do your research, buy the right parts, and you will have no problems.

Most of the problems stem from running a spacer on the stock length wheel stud. It may work, but your pushing you're luck by doing so most of the time.

I ground the fins on the rear calipers and used 3" long studs. I was running a strange 12 bolt, so I was able to go with 1/2" screw in" studs p/n MOR-46200
