    GT brakes allow you to use a smaller spacer.

    Wheel GT brakes you need a 7/16's spacer to fit. Remember the spacers must be hubcentric. Those mr. Gasket spacers tech do not pass tech

    It is only ones personal safety and possible their life that is at risk by doing things in a half ass manner. Legal and safe is the only way I operate.

    I have Weld Draglites and I use a 3/4 spacer and Moroso studs that have threads all the way to the end of the stud. The studs come flush to the end of the lug nuts. Both legal and safe. I did have to grind a tad on the caliper. For some reason I put on a set of Prostars and they fit without grinding.
