Dean, I would recommend the spacer. Everyone recommended it to me. When I ordered my wheel from PP, they forgot to send the spacer! Of course I couldn't wait to install the wheel, took all of 30 minutes(some of that spent ranting about the missing spacer). The wheel was a bit close to the dash, but livable, but the inability to see the speedo above 60 was a bit un-nerving. I like to know just how much I breaking the law

The spacer will make this an all around perfect upgrade. This wheel is awesome.
