    1968 Ten Spoke Question

    I have seen a number of members have the Shelby ten spoke wheels on their Specials. With these reproductions do you need to use a spacer? Or has the back spacing been changed to eliminate the need for a spacer? I have a original Shelby set and they will rub the caliper if a spacer is not used.
