Front and rear I assume.

The fronts require a 5/8" spacer.
The rears require a LOT of caliper grinding. Even more if it is a 15x10" wheel.

Grind the calipers.
Or sell the wheels.

No spacer is safe enough to run without grinding.

I'm doing mine also.15x10 in back,I'm useing a 7/32 spacer but you are going to have to grind your calipers front and back unfortunately. I would not go any bigger than that.There is a thread on one of these forums that tells all about it.Be ready to grind down your calipers. If you go to big in the front it will look wierd like it was a front wheel drive car,(tire sticking out farther than your rear).LOL
