Are you running Draglites, or Draglite XP's? I didn't think they made the Draglite in a 16" size, only the XP's.
If what you are really running is a Draglite 15x8, you need to grind the corners off the caliper coolings fins. Don't drive it with them "rubbing".... it is cutting a groove into the wheel that can weaken it. When you pull it off, check to see how deep the groove is cut... they may have been damaged severely already.
You might be able to correct it with the same thin spacer you used in the front, but using a spacer on a "drag" rear wheel application is asking for trouble. It will also require you to go to longer studs, just like you should have done in the front with the spacers being used.
