Wheel spacer questions. Am I crazy?
Im installing CTS-V calipers under my 17" C4 ZR1 wheels. You need a 1/4" spacer to do that according to the how to thread. I want a hubcentric wheel spacer because I dont want to deal with any vibration issues, theres nothing worse than a shaking steering wheel, plus I have enough other vibrations lol with this car. Does anyone know of someone that makes a direct hubcentric 1/4" wheel spacer with our hub bore diameter of 70.3mm I think it is? I have been searching and I cannot find anything.
Also if I cant find anyone that makes one I was thinking of making some spacers on my own, except everyone that I tell that I am going to make my own spacers looks at me like I have ten heads. Am I crazy for wanting to make my own? It'll be a PITA but other than a lot of tedious measuring and cutting I dont think it will be that bad at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was referring to the thread fitting the brakes under 17" wheels. In that thread the op runs a 1/4" non hubcentric spacer. I dont want a wheel adapter spacer like the one in the thread youre talking about. Thank you though.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I was looking for some spacers that fit the hub bore perfectly so they don't move around and cause any problems...the eibach ones are too big, I just need 1/4"....I actually ended up getting exactly what i was looking for from Blaine fabrication.com.
