Decided to go with the axis oldskool

I have a 2006 xb and I read on here that people needed spacers. Do you think I will have any problems putting these wheels on or should I buy the 5mm spacers to clear the caliper?

Unfortunately, I had to "shave" my calipers, to clear my Ol'Skools, when I replaced my front pads! The new pads pushed the caliper outwards and when I bolted up my wheels, the wheels wouldn't spin!

If i remember correctly, the 06' or 06.5, something changed slightly with the calipers, so i think it depends on the year if you need a spacer or shave.
