Default Where to get a good wheel spacer?

I got my new 18x10.5 rims on the back with 295/35/18s on them and I tend to experience rubbing if I have a car full of people or take a hard turn. Was thinking about getting a 1" spacer. I have c6 z06 deep dish for anyone that is wondering. I have 18x8.5 on the front but there are no rubbing issues in the front. I know a stiff suspension setup would help but for now I was thinking just a spacer

You can purchase them on ebay. cjbarginsI believe was the username of the guy. I am running some of their 1.25" adapter style spacers and have had no problems. He is a good seller.

Pfadt used to make some nice ones that were very reasonably priced, might want to look into them

I've had good luck with aaiautomotiveaccessories from ebay. They can custom make any size, spacing for your vehicle. The customer service is good as well.

I run some basic 5/16" spacers from Pep Boys, works fine for me. I'm also running ARP long studs

H&R, Eibach, and eBay. But make sure if they are from ebay that you get hubcentric ones that match your bore and come with extended bolts/lugs.

I believe you should be fine without any rubbing issues. I have 285/35/18 pirellis and they do not rub because the sidewall is not as tall. The michelin pilot sports which are 265/40/18 were rubbing on the inner and outer fender however
