Default weld pro stars

Hello I just bought a set of weld prostars and was wondering if anyone had any idea on what spacers i need for the front and rear wheels for clearance. The fronts are 15x4 the rear are 15x8. Any help would be great!
Thanks
Justin

if you have 15x 8 with 5.5 back spacing just grind the caliper until it clears the wheel from rubbing and use 5/16 spacer for the front wheels only. That's what i did to mine . I did not have no problems just remember that you need patience when you grind the rear caliper it is a time consuming.

It took me like 5 hrs. to do all 4 corners. Take your time and grind only what's needed to stop the rubbing, then maybe a thousandth or two for the calipers to expand.
