Default Cobra Brakes + skinnies

OKAY, so can I use the cobra front brake kit with a 3.5" skinnies wheel with a bolt on spacer? I dont wanna drive on skinnies all the time, so I wanna use a bolt on spacer so I dont have to use open lugs and extended studs which=ugly on FR500's. BUT what size of spacer would I be able to use and clear the skinnies and cobra brakes thats a bolt on design.

Also, has anyone ever tried putting 26 or 28" slicks with drag lites in the trunk? Do they fit? I would imagine MAYBE you could fold the seat down and slidew one into the back and one in the center of the trunk, maybe remove spare and trunk floor liner.

I fit my full size floor jack w/ the jack pole, jackstands, helmet, assorted tools, AND my 275/50/R15 tires in the last time I went to the track.... but I took the rear seat out.

You MIGHT get them in there without it, but what i had to do was put one tire in the trunk and stand one tire upright where the back seat was before.

I dunno about the spacer, people are saying it will work with the stock studs, but I would have to measure the studs and see how much is still showing. That would worry me (not having enough stud to bolt it down with.

well dont those bolt on spacers has the recess for your stock lug nuts to go through and tighten against the rotor and new long studs are in-between those for the skinnies to go on? I think that is how I have seen a few go on, I think mylongvictor has this setup, I will PM him
