The spacers are only needed in back to clear the rear trailing arm bolt (the big one where the shock bolts onto the trailing arm) but I also have 5mm spacers in front for a square setup.

I know im asking a lot of question and thank you for being patient . can you tell me what spacers you run and how you deal with the difference in hub bore size. the hypergrams have a center bore of 73.1 and the mini has a center bore of 56.1 so I'm guessing I can't run hub centric spacers!?!? Also, am I right in thonking that I will need longer wheel studs to run 5mm spacers? This may seem like stupid questions to some and please forgive my ignorance but, I hate to send things back if they don't fit so I'm doing my best to make sure I have all the right info before I buy and you kind people are a very big help!!!
