ANOTHER wheel spacer/adapter thread! PLZ COME IN! ok guys, I just received my OEWheels c5 DD replicas, 18x9.5 in rear, running 295/35/18's ...and they rub heavily on the inside. I am going to hammer in my inner fenders some, but also have some of the infamous "MR GASKET style spacers on hand, 5/16"..
I already have the ARP wheel studs on my car, and when i test fit the wheels, i threw one of the spacers on and it clears fine and pushes the wheel out pretty nicely.
Ive read quite a few of the threads and there are a lot of mixed opinions when using these type of spacers. I considered the adaptors but a few guys said they were having to cut down their studs for everything to fit, and the last thing i wanna do is hack at my ARP studs.
Suggestions? OR...Suggestions on where to buy SPACERS that have a hub centerting ring, or are made specifically for F-bodys? THANKS!

To be honest i dont know the brand they were on a car at the local junkyard i grabbed them for a s10 project then decided to put them on mine after i saw a pic and they looked amazing. they look similar to what the other guy posted to where it bolts to the factory studs and then have a second set of studs that u bolt the tire to.
