The rear 15x8 welds need to have a 5.5 inch backspace an the 15 x10 need 6.5 BS....The front 15 x3 1/2..(skinnies) need at least a 7/16 wheel spacerand you will need to grind the caliper Bracket flat(not much really),,so it doesn't rub the rim on the inside.....

7/16's is safer alsobecuase you get 9 full turn of the lugnuts with stock length studs.

true.... for the most part. You don't need to gring the calipers bracket with a 7/16" spacer, or atleast I didn't have to. And to answer the original question, if you have stock GT brakes you are fine.

Me either, but the back of the wheel is super close. No rubbing tho.
