I have read alot about using spacers to stop the tire rub on the rear. What are you all using for spacers?

They are plates the diameter of the hub & usually 1/4" thick with holes for you lug studs. They go between the hub & wheel. Goggle it for pics.If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

please note: if you use spacers, you MUST use lug bolts that are longer than stock the same distance that the spacers are thick, so 5mm spacer means that the lug studs must be 5mm longer as well.Trees aren't kind to me...
