for the fronts, you'll need about a 1/4" spacer. the rears i have pics up on my page of how much i ground the calipers down to fit without spacers.

My mistake.
I thought you mentioned something about having some ET fronts on them already.
Different set??

me and my friend picked up two sets today. he got the ET Fronts as i didn't want them. i got the radials.
