I'm personally really happy with how spacers worked. The tire/rim alignment in the fender is spot on, really fills out the fenders out to the lip.

In the rear, you should be OK. I trimmed the rear lip where the outer fender and inner fender are spot welded together, and then used a 5lb hammer to push some of the metal out of the way.

I'm 99% confident you're going to need to run a coilover setup in the front for the wheel/tire combo to work though. No measurements yet,(I'll get them up after I make an ice cream run, gimme an hour) but there just isn't going to be enough clearance with the stock OD springs up front. In case you need to send them back.
