GTA rim question...

I have a 91 TA with rear drum brakes. To put on a set of GTA wheels do I have to have wheel spacers? Did cars with the crosslaced rims, have the spacers from the factory? and if I need the spacers, how thick are they??? Thanx

I just put some GTA crosslace rims on my car w/out spacers, and have had no problems.
I also have drum breaks.

I posted about this when i got my rims. Its a .170 spacer with the sole purpose to not allow the rim to rust/carrode the the drum. Its not a big deal if you don't use them .. I dont
