Some cars with rear drums and 16 inch wheels had spacers on both sides--that said, my 85 IROC with rear discs had them as well.

I believe only the iron drums had the spacers, not the aluminum ones. Correct?

I assume that's correct. Chilton's claims the spacers are used with cast iron, but GM did some strange things.

My 92 RS with 16" wheels has them on the rear also.
Both sides.
