rear end/wheels/spacers question.

I didn't know whether to post this in body, drivetrain, or suspension, so I picked this forum..

I'm going to get some 4th gen wheels for my car - http://www.slponline.com/view_produc...&SHOWEMAIL=Off ... I know I'd need spacers for them, which will cost me somewhere around $300 for all 4.. I was wondering if I got a 4th gen rear end if I'd still need spacers on the back, or if that'll be enough to make them look normal..

also, for spacers, am I just looking at about $150 for a pair? or is there anywhere cheaper?

I have a 4th gen Z28 rear in my car, I have those Bird wheels also. Check out my webpage for pictures also. You only need spacers on the front if you get the 4th gen rear.
