I've got the Shelby Minilite copies, as described by another poster. I drove
the car for a couple of years with those wheels and no spacers. I was just
curious if I was doing anything bad. I noticed that the rear track does seem
a bit narrow, so maybe the next time I order something from S.S. I'll get
a set of the spacers - they're cheap enough.
BTW Chad, I'm in Boulder, CO. Where are you?
