Ok, so I got some 14" T-Bird wheels with Blizzaks mounted on them. I went to put them on this afternoon, and discovered the fronts won't clear the caliper.

Took an informal poll of the car guys I know. They all seemed to suggest using spacers, but that might require longer wheel studs. Chaging studs is a real PITA, so I don't know if I want to do that. Plus, they're 205/70's, so clearance might be an issue if I put a 1" spacer in the front. What do I have for options?
