Porper rear wheel spacers on SC

What is the proper wheel spacer to use on the rear of a 79 SC? my car is lowered to European spec's and I have 8 x 16 Fuchs. I am thinking less the 1"

Why do you need a spacer?

1/4 inch will be safe to use without changing to longer wheel studs.

Here's mine with 8 inch wheels and 1/4 inch spacer in the rear on 245/45 Sumitomo tires.

I put a set of C2 calipers on mine and the caliper is only 1/64-.015" away from the rim. It is so close that when the rim flexes it will touch the caliper. I was thinking of using the 1/4" spacers that PP has.

Excellent idea!

You may want to check the Pelican classifieds before ordering. I think there was a used set posted recently.
