I ran 5mm spacers with that brake kit & S-Lites before I bought my SSRs.

I found out spacers were required the hard way (scratched one of my calipers).

I didn't experience any rubbing with the spacers in place.

PS. Personally, I would make the back match the front when it comes to spacers, tire size, etc.

Thanks very much for the info. Much appreciated, 5mm spacers must be pretty close when mounted. But I am glad to hear I don't have to be as aggressive as I thought.

5mm will not clear with the 12.2 " willwood kit.

would need 7mm at least to make it and dont know anyone that makes a 7mm standard, and the hub flange would just barley make contact at that point. Going to order up the 12mm spacers I posted above and that will be more than enough.

Just wanted to post this up for anyone else in the future.
