Default wheel spacers, where to get them?

I am looking for either a 3mm or 5mm wheel spacer what will fit my 95 Z, and I am having a hard time finding them, anyone that could point me in the right direction would be great thanks...

do you realize how small 3mm or 5 mm is? It's in-between 1/8 of an inch...think of it...about the thickness of two credit cards put together.

I don't think you'll ever notice a difference using them. If you are trying to clearance something...grind it to fit. THat is such a small amount!

Well the reason I was wanting such a small spacer is because I have some 18x10.5 Z06's with a 58mm offset, and so if i were to get a 5mm spacer it would provide a little extra room and less banging on the inner fender well

I used the ones in the link I provided earlier to accomplish what you want and to also use closed ended lugnuts on my Moser.

Why dont you use some washers? I might even have some grade 8 that will work. I used them on my truck and they worked fine.

I've got 1/8" IROC spacers on the rear of mine. You can probably find some pretty cheap. Look on Ebay or try www.thirdgen.org.

I believe with those rims, you will need a 1/2 - 3/4 in. spacers
