No if you go any smaller than 1.5inches you have to though.

You will not need to cut anything Just make sure you buy hubcentric spacers and don't forget loctite!!

P,S. it's gonna change your turning radius

I ordered a set of 1.5" hubcentric spacers last night. They are supposed to be here Friday, so I should hopefully get on for the weekend and let you know my results. I've been wanting a set for my stock wheels for a while, so I finally bit the bullet.

Loctite is a threadlocker. You should be able to find it at any auto parts store, or any hardware store. It comes in different colors that are rated to different strengths.. I am not sure which one you should use for spacers though.

I would assume Blue. Red is for things you don't want to get off, but in this case, you would want to get the spacers off from time to time without much hassle.

I use red on a lot of things... Red says permanent but it's not that bad to get off, I used it on my spacers and didn't have a problem getting them off when I sold em
