Default please help

just put weld wheels on my 03 gt. the rear are great. the front wheels are touching the brake caliper. the wheel size is 15x3.5 with 1.75 offset. although the wheels are touching the calipers, they are flush, not crooked. do you think i could get away with putting in a 7/16 wheel space gasket on each wheel, or do i need more of an offset??????????? thanks

That should work fine. Ya might have to grind the calipers a little.
