im trying to grind as little as possible, will a 1/4" spacer help, or will that cause problems?

I believe that alot of people run 5/16" spacers, I just ground mine till they fit without spacers. People make it sound alot harder than it really is, just grind see if they fit, and grind some more. took me about 1 hour per side

yep, 5/16". You'll still be grinding. But I agree, the backs aren't very hard to do. I also grinded mine down far enough to not need a spacer, but put it on anyways cause I thought the wheel tucked in TOO far.

I have a pair of hubcentric 5/16" spacers. I am not using them anymore and I will sell them very reasonable, like $20 and shipping, about $4, if you want them. racrx02@msn.com I also have the gorilla lugnuts that are open to use with the longer wheel studs you are probably running with. I have 12 of them, new, I paid $15 from Thunder Racing, there yours for free if you take the spacers. Peace, Victor
