Grinding of the calipers will be required regardless of if you run a spacer. For the 8" wheels, you'd want a 5.5" backspacing too.

Yea, the front calipers can be left alone if you wanted to run longer studs and 5/16" spacers. The rears require a good bit of grinding to fit the Welds. If money isn't too much of a concern, you can get Bogarts and not have to grind. Also, Centerline Warriros and Convo Pros fit without grinding, but don't have the ideal backspacings.
