Default I need a definitive answer (drag wheels)

Hello all, after searching I still haven't found out what I needed to know for sure.
I read that with the Drag DR20's you need a spacer front and rear. What I didnt find out was if this is true on the new dr20's that came out for the xB, xa, and miata. The new ones are a 15x7.5 w/ a 38 mm offset

I already have the OTG spacer in the rear, but I am wondering about the front.

Thanks in advance.

As long as the offset is under 40mm you will NOT need a spacer. Keep in mind that 38mm is the stock offset.

The issue that I read about was clearance of the caliper bracket. So does the 38mm offset solve this issue also?

Great info to know too btw, thank you

A +38 will be no problem at all. It's when you start getting into 42, and up that you'll start to have a problem.

I belive that some 06.5 xB's had a problem with clearing the calipers.
