Yea the rear speaker towers are about 8 inches in diameter but at 8 inches that is starting the subwoofer size range.

I have 51/4 back there and I made my own spacers out of plywood, rotor tool, primer, and black paint. I cut the ply wood around the hole then made the hole inside the piece I just cut perfect size for the 51/4 then I primed and spray painted. There has to be an easier way but thats the way I did it.

I used 6.5 in the strut tower and took the factory speakers off the mounting plate, screwed the new ones onto the mounting plate. They fit fine, but you might have to drill a hole in the factory mounting plate.
