it should be 2" for the front and 1.5" for the rear. You will only need the rear if the rearend is stock or stock width. If you have a 4th gen rearend then no adapters are needed.

I run 2's on all corners..Personally i prefer the wheel stance that extra half inch on the rear gives you.Brings the wheels almost even with the fender lip(they will still tuck inside without contact,i've seen video's of my car launching before)

I have 35th Anniversary 10-spokes on mine, I believe they are 17x9.5 and I use 2" in the front and 1.5" in the rear, both the the front and rear are aligned. I didnt want the rear tires to stick farther out than the front or vice versa.


Here is a couple of pics
