Yes. Or the spacers wont sit flush up against the hub. And that's where you can run into some problems.

They are great. Makes your Jeep look like it should have when it left the factory.

Yep, I pulled all of the clips off. I did notice that the clips would probably sit inside the spacers, but then again I don't really see the point of the clips in the first place. I think someone once mentioned that they put them on to reduce rotor rattle. Figure if my rotor is rattling I have a bigger problem than the noise.

the clips are needed during the manufacturing process, but that's about it.
