I used 5/16 spacers on the front and ground down the calipers on the back, it took alot of grinding to make sure they cleared, about the balance weights i had them use the flat stick on weights on the I.D of the wheel since mine sees the track mostly. My e-brake barely clears the screw locks on the inner side of the wheel

I ground mine down a little bit, nothing crazy. And last time I used a spacer on the front with stock studs, I lost a wheel going 80mph.
