Default a little help here guys

I just traded my wheels for some bigs and littles off of a fox (i have the sn95 in my sig). The fronts are 3/12 and the backs are almost 12 inches wide. I know I need some kind of spacers on the front to clear the brakes and a little bit of room (im guessing 1/4 inch to clear the ebrake and brake lines in the back. Where can I get the hubcentric or whatever its called spacers and what sizes would you recommend.

I dont know the back spacing on these wheels but they fit fine on a stock axeled foxbody that had a 351 kmember and coilovers on the front.

I dont know the back spacing. The middle of the rear rims is six inches in from the outside lip if that is how you find it.

Mounting face (inside) to bead. 6-1/2" backspace should clear no problems.

You can run spacers. I'd only recommend it if you run long studs... you seem to have a pretty healthy set up, but thats just me.
Btw..the fox those come off of mini-tubbed?
