Not running any spacers on the back at all. Just had to do quite a bit of grinding on the calipers.

Just wondering how a plastic, flexable fender could "crack"? Mine rubbed like hell for a few passes, did a little massaging, and all is fine.

This is not the size you want if you are about keeping your car "pristine", but if you want traction, and youi want to haul down the track, 28s or 29s is the way to go (with a 15" rim of course).
