ok youre talking about adaptors.. spacers are generally less than a 1/4 of an inch and are basically a piece of aluminum with some holes in it that slide on.

I use 3/8 billet spacers w/ my draglites, if you buy cast alum. ones(mr.gasket) they have tendancy to crack. spend money on the billet ones if you need spacers they are about $60 bux a pair.

dont know what kind of pics you are looking for but.. here are some ebay 1" adapter/spacers that I used to run before I had to put on the long studs for the drag rims..



And some SouthWest speed 5/8 spacers I use on the front with my skinnies with ARP studs on the car..




And this is how the stock 16's look with 1" spacers on the rear.




Hope this helps..
