You probably don't need much in the front right?

yea i just need a little.Whats the smallest i can get for a wheel spacer.

The problem is that my 18X9.5 wheel in the front is scraping against the strut(sp)i think that what it is.The back is fine,but then i dont want the front to stick more out then the back.

I don't think it will matter if you run them in the front. I too was nervous about running spacers and was dead set against it. Just sounded like a cheap fix. But I talked to Maximum Motorsports and they said there isn't a problem running them and even said they use them on their races cars. If they are safe enough for there race cars then they are safe enough for my street car.

+1, provided you use quality spacers - like the one's from MM. The cheap ePay one's can mash out over time and lead to loosening lug nuts, hence the horror stories we have heard of.

The smallest size I've seen is 1/8th inch from Max. Motorsport for about $45. Another possible fix, although more money, is to get the '03-'04 front control arms. They provide a little more clearance for the wheel. They are $156 at Summit.
