[V8] wheel spacers

[Ed Kellock]

Data point!

Yesterday I mounted up my 17x9 et35 Cup 1 replicas which have 255/40's
on them on my "new" '93 which has Koni yellows and I believe H&R
springs (the rear springs are a dark green color).

I haven't done any real testing yet, but going in and out of my
driveway and my drive to work produced no rubbing or contact of any
sort.
