Default Draglite fronts; do spacers mandate longer studs

Just wondering if you absolutely HAVE to run longer studs if u run a 5/16th spacer with skinnies. and with LT1 brakes, could u possibly not have to grind when using the spacer??

thanks!

With LT1 brakes you may not need to grind or use a spacer. That said, I use a spacer and run standard studs. I'm not saying its smart, but the rule I've heard is the nut needs 5 turns minimum to be considered safe, and I got about 5 turns. I plan to grind the calipers to fit them anyway, just for looks. If you run the longer studs you'll be extra safe. I run the long ones on the rear.
