Default Wheel Spacers

For sake of my eyes being roasted from being so tired and not wanting to use "search function".... I am looking for the answer to this question:
Wheel Spacers: Do I need all 4 wheel spacers or just the front two for the steering mechanisms? I'm assuming 4, but I'm curious as for certain.

It's random but just want to know the answer--already got aftermarket wheels w/ 3.5 backspacing \\

thanks in advance

You can do just the front two, but it may look funny. Get all four, its not that much more expensive.

yeah. I went with a full set of Steelie rims, so I'm trying to determine if I'd have saved money by using stock rims w/ the spacers
I think I got each rim for under $50/rim? 250 compared to.... about the same for 4 spacers I think?

With 3.5 inches of backspace, you shouldnt need any spacers. Unless you are running an insanely wide tire.

I actually have the spidertrax on mine right now. I think I paid $199 shipped for all four.
