Default How Much Spacer

Hey guys, Just trying to get my little 65 mustang going again after sitting for a couple years with some transmission issues. But unfortunatley, in that time, the wheels have been stripped off the car to go on other vehicles. Sooo, I'm debating on throwing my FR500s off my 2000 GT on her. I tried the fronts and everything fits up perfect no rubbing or anything, but as most people run into, the rears hit the leaf springs. So my question is, how much spacer will I need to clear the leaf springs with an 18x10 in the rear? The tire on there is a 275 so there's no added width with that size. Americanmuscle's website also says the backspacing on these wheels is 6.3" if that helps any? Thanks guys.
