This question has me a little confused. If you grind your calipers, you don't need to use spacers. Spacers are used if you don't want to grind down the calipers.

I ground down enough to run a 5/16th spacer in the rear, just keep on grinding.

Even with the 5/16 spacer you will need to some grinding in the back for Weld rims.

I have 15x10 Prostars in back, no spacers at all. Just a lot of grinding.
