Judge, you might want to grind the edge of the wilwood calipers (Same as Antonio did w/ the Baer's) that hit the wheels instead of spacing the wheels. wheels spacers could very well lead to bad wheel bearings...

I got the same problem with my 18" axis sevens. I got the wilwood kit and in needs 3 or 4 mm to clear. I found a 5mm spacer from H&R it comes with longer studs too, but I don't know where to get the studs install since I do not have the tools for that kind of job.
JUDGE let me know what you come out with.
about grinding the caliper I do not want to put at risk the integrity of the caliper.
I order the 17" FSVT wheels from bat for winter and they clear fine. Erick from BAT test fit them for me. They were $540 for all 4

I got my H&R spacers from S&G. If you don't install the longer stud the factor stud will break. I know, was in Chicago on a Saturday  Had my install done and DJT Motorsports 313-895-9353

Well, I have no choice but to fight the install in my driveway because the car is not drivable as is. Hopefully the studs do not fight me to much....as my wheelbearings are new and do not want to mess them up.

Here is the info I got from Terry
"For such thin spacers the std studs should be ok.The 'rule ' is that the
lug nut must have 2 1/2 times the diameter of the stud for engagement in
the lug nut to be safe..TH"
