where can i get wheel spacers like these??????
i have a delima.. i know what i need and i cant seem to find them anywhere.. 1/4" thick wheel spacers i have checked all the parts stores and the thickest they carry 7/32 thick.. the one parts store got a set of those and we measured them on a caliper they are bout an 1/8 inch off from being a 1/4" will that 1/8 matter?? see what i am doing is running 4 rear gta rims on my car.. if yoru asking why its becasue they were givin to me and they are brand new.. thats why i am going through the trouble to make them work.. if anyone has some they arent using i will buy them unless u think that the 7/32 ones will work here is what they look like thanks for the help!!!!

Go to one of those Custom Wheel shops where they sell and mount tires, they should have the size of spacer you need.

http://www.ground-control.com/ go there and click on catalogs on the left of the screen. Then go to camaro/firebird and scroll down. They have wheel spacers.

you might get away with running 4 rear gta rims without any spacers at all....each car is slightly difference on clearances because of big gm tolerances, and what miles and miles of driving do to your car.
i've seen a formula with 16" rims that mistakenly had a rear rim mounted on the front, and it wouldn't make it out of the shop's bay, because it was dragging so bad scraping against something. I think it was probably a wheel weight on the back of the rim scraping against something.
however i know of someone with a ta that came with the 16" crosslace wheels, and she didn't know it, but she drove around with the front and rears switched and the stock spacers up front, and never had any sort of rubbing problem.
