I would suspect that that would depend on the Style & Width of the wheel ~ The E'V'15" Steelys that I have are 15x6 ET44 & I do have 

1/2In Spacers on the Front & 3/4In Spacers on the Rear but I was thinking I had done that so as to MakeRoom for the LargeTires that I run

( 225/60r15 Front & 235/75r15 Rear) & the BigBrakes I have on the Front ~ But I mounted those Wheels almost 6yrs ago so I don't remember

if the Spacers were needed for a WheelClearance issue ~
