Default Spacers after springs???

In my lil packet of H&R stuff they got Wheel Spacer info., Are these really necessary? I looked at my rear Wheel well and it seems ok, just wish teh wheel could come out a little farther? Ne who whats the deal with them? Yay or Nay?

Its not needed. it will push your back wheels out a little farther if you use em. thats all they really do..

You shouldnt need em as far as I know. The IRS cobras usually have to use spacers or grind down the irs bolt when they use a 10.5 wheel, but the gt's are generally ok.

I used to have them on my 99 Cobra's and it really helped them fill out the rear.If you can change a tire you can install spacer's!!

stupid simple to install. Just make them go on.

I need to get a set, so if you don't need them I'll buy em off you. With 10.5 rims you sometimes need them. IRS cobras with 2.5" (MM has 2.25") wide springs on rear coil overs.

FYI.. increased wheel track in the back end you get with a good spacer is usually a good thing for handling. Make sure to use hubcentric spacers like H&R makes and watch your wheel stud length.
