Get the machined spacers (Baer or Jeg's brand), not the junk aluminum cast ones.

Why are cast aluminum junk? Because they cost less? I love how people give advice without ever giving any reasoning behind it around here.

If you are talking about 1/2" or larger spacers that slip on over your existing lugs and provide their own extended lugs then I agree you should go with high quality CNC machined. Especially on the front of the vehicle. But the poster here seems to be looking for a small shim to change their offset slightly or provide backspacing. In that case Mr Gasket makes some that are 7/32" that will work just fine for their application.

I don't think they make that size specifically. Your best bet is to just do a web search for "5 4.75 wheel spacer". There are several smaller companies and performance shops that machine their own so you may find a wider variety of sizes going that route. I know the use of spacers is a touchy subject around here but with the small sizes you are talking about I think you will be fine.
