im pretty sure summitracing.com has some, if your going to do that i would recommend upgrading your studs too, . . . jus ask the mods to more your thread, .. they sometimes automatically do it anyways, . .

I'm sure he just meant you might get a quicker response if it was posted in the right forums.

That is what he meant. You can't transfer emotion over text very easily. I will move this thread for you. 1" spacer is pretty drastic though. Mr. Gasket has a decent variety, but it might be something that you need to get a template and have one made out of billet or something. It will be hell on your studs for a 1" spacer. You might want to grind some caliper material off.

If you're looking for something 1" wide then it should be an adapter and not a slip-on spacer. By "adapter" I mean the kind that has its own pressed-in studs - you bolt it to your hub and then bolt the wheel to it - in your case the bolt pattern on the hub and the wheen would just be the same. If you want to do it right then talk to Andris at Skulte.com - he can build you just about any sort of spacer or adapter that you want and he does excellent work.
