Wheel Spacers

I just got back into the 3rd gen world with an 88 Iroc and am looking to replace the wheels that came on it. I have a set of ZR1 wheels laying around that I had on a vette. Now I understand I need 2.25" spacers in the front and 2" spacers in the back. My question is, where do you buy these? I have found a web site or two but that sells spacers but they only go up to 2", not quite good enough for the front.

Thanks for the help.
Nick

I would skip ebay and look at a place like Motorsport Tech.

Most big companies have eBay stores and they usually sell their product cheaper on eBay then in their normal store. Just saying...everyone hates on eBay but it isn't as bad as its portrayed if you know how to properly use it.

Sure. But you just said ebay, you didn't provide a recommended seller. So who on Ebay do you recommend for adapters?

Re: Wheel Spacers

I bought my spacers through an ebay seller called lugs-n-stuff. I had no problems whatsoever with the transaction, they shipped as soon as they received payment, and most importantly i'm very happy with the spacers. I have no problem recommending them.

Re: Wheel Spacers

Here is a link to the ebay store in which I bought my 2.25s from. It is hard to find the bigger adapters like that but there are plenty of them out there.

Re: Wheel Spacers

Thanks for the help folks! I found a set and they should be here soon. Then I will be able to post a pic or two in the thread about vette wheels.

Thanks again
Nick
