Those with Baer brakes and spacers.

Particularly the 13" track setup up front. What spacer size are u using for your rims? I currently have the baer setup, but heard i can get away with 1.75 spacers. I have 17x9.5 rims w/ 265/40/17 tires. Any ideas?

I ended up using a 1.70" spacer.

happen to measure the distance from strut to tire? Enough clearance? I was thinking to go w/ 2.00.

The closest it gets is a little under a 1/2"

That's with a 245/45/17 tire.
