wheel spacer?
My SSBC brake calipers are very close to the back of my Budnik wheels. So close in fact that I get some SLIGHT rubbing on the back of the spokes where the caliper brushes the wheel..
Is the fix for my problem wheel spacers?
The thinnest spacers that I have seen are 1/8".
I am confident this would give me the clearance that I need.
I know that I need to make sure that the studs are long enough to properly secure the lug nuts.
Are there any other issues/concerns that I need to consider?
Where should I look to purchase the spacers?
Thanks,
Scott

I had to use 5/16" spacers to clear my 13" C4 setup with 16" rims. I just bought the spacers from summit. I think they're Mr Gasket - nothing fancy but they work for street use. I see Baer has billet spacers in Jegs .

I had slight contack on my SSBC calipers also. Mine were not powercoated so out came grinders and plenty of clearance. After seeing how they looked after hitting them with 120 grit I think they would look good polished.
