I really don't like to see folks run spacers for cars making passes down the track.

The grinding is minimal:

My stock studs are between 1/4" and 1/2" from coming through the end of the lugnut.

I'm not running a spacer on mine

EDIT: Found a pic of it

I had Draglites on my car prior to the Streetlites so I had already "trimmed" my calipers and it was a direct swapover.
