Default Wheel Spacers

I just got 18X10 bullits installed on the rear and 18X9 bullitts installed on the front. The tire guys that installed them were showing me how tight they were to the caliper. They recommended getting spacers to give the rim some distance between itself and the brakes. Has anyone had any problems with this? Or is it fine to run the rims without the spacers? Thanks.

As long as there's no contact, there's no problem. As far as the spacers go, you can't go thicker than 1/4" on the stock studs.

It's no big deal i've had my 18X10 in the back and they do look really close to the caliper, but it hasn't been an issue at all, i have over 15,000 miles on these wheels with plenty of long trips. Don't worry about it. Plus it'll look funny with the wheels sticking out [&:]
