Default Brake dust Shields

Yea i got an 2002monte carlo ss and im trying to add the brake dust shields to my car which i got 20 inch rims on.. The back goes on fine but the front caliper are widers than the back . Can anyone tell me what i can do to get the front shield on. I was thinking some wheel spacers but how much room do i need?

Just run ceramic pads and keep your wheels clean

Dust covers are not only for break dust, they look great if you have contrasting wheels....chrome wheels & black covers....black wheels & chrome covers.Quarters should work or if you can find halves get et's & your good.
