Default Quick Question-Welds 8x15 - 5.5 BS

Can you run this rim with a spacer only? I ground my calipers down to fit without spacer but need to know.TIA

Thanks Joel.I have to guess with a spacer there would be less grinding than non-spacered.

depends one how big of a spacer, but you also need enough stud to thread the lugnuts!

Some get the smallest spacer made so they dont have to grind as much. If you dont like griding look into the Bogart line <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I had to grind the hell out of mine for 15x8 welds <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Assuming you had long enough wheel studs, what size of spacer would one need to run these or 15X10's without having to grind down the calipers?

Thanks!!
