re:spacers Mr. Gasket makes a nice set that actually line up with the hubs (at least in the rears). I got them from JEGS, I actually have two brand new, in the package, spacers with the proper pattern for camaros. Hope this helps, let me know if you could use mine--I don't need em

P.S. I wouldn't use spacers if you don't have to. I have 10.5" with 295 rears and just had to a little hammer smashing on the innner fender to make it work. This is a much better solution than using spacers and having your wheels stick out like crazy, risking cutting them on the quarter panels. Out.

.... im picking up 18 inch c5 rims and from what i've been hearing a lot of people use the spacer because of rubbing.
how much did you have to hammer away??
also how thick are your spacers and why did you end up taking them off??
how much are you asking for them?? im not decided yet, but maybe i'll buy them off you.
thanks

H&R makes some very nice wheel spacers, but they're pricey and hard to find. Here's a link: http://www.hrsprings.com/site/products/trak.html

I didn't use my spacers b/c I didn't need em! I did one round of pounding initially to get rid of the obvious straight line rub. Then some more finishing smackin' after an alignment and properly adjusting my panhard rod. Spacers should be avoided at all costs and additionally, my rear wheel studs were too short to even thread the lugs on with the spacers in. It was an easy decision to make--you're not pounding on anything important, just make sure you have at least some rust-oleum on hand once you start breaking away the inner fenderwell coating. Out.
