In the front, you CAN run these without a spacer as long as you do one of two things: 1) bore the centers if you're running drum brakes, or 2) run a disk brake conversion.

In the rear, you CANNOT run these without a spacer in the stock size (22x9 w/ 6" BS). The wheel will interfere with the edge of the bed floor. You basically have two options here as well: 1) flip the center and do a custom backspace between 3.5" - 4.5", or 2) run at least a 1.25" spacer. How much depends on which rear end you have (earlier pre 69 rear, or 1.5" wider 69-up rear).
