No spacer, but tire selection is slim pickin due to section width. I have run 29" QTP's with 1 finger width clearance and now 30" radial slicks and have about 2 fingers clearance.

im also debating into what to do here. I bought some bogarts from a friend that he had on his 08 silver ado..and I'm guessing BS is over 6" cus it hits that brake line bolt in the back. I also milled those bolts till both rims fitted. But then i put new brake pads on and now the dam rims won't fit again with those damn bolts...i grinded my calipers so much that the inner bolt uncovered to view. Being that now i know calipers are at weaker point...so i bought some brake drums to swap but I've heard that ill have trouble to spool the turbo at the starting line cuz supposedly the disks hold more stopping power then drums...can any one relate to this or have known this true???

If the drum brakes are in good shape and adjusted properly, they should hold well. They will have a lot of surface area holding that drum stationary.

You should put a line lock on your rear brake line, so you can deactivate the rear brakes during your burnout. Turn em back on after your burnout, pump up the pedal at the line, and build boost for your launch.
