General Question

I have the aluminum 16" Iroc wheels, I saw somewhere that there was some kind of shim to use so that the wheels would not stick to the brakes is this true? or was it just a gimmik?

There was a spacer, yes, which was supposed to be used with 16's and drums (My IROC, however, had the spacer with rear discs--go figure).

You might check with your dealership or place an add on the classifieds. Come to think of it, you might check also with ebmiller.

here in the Bay Area one of the local shops carries Mr Gasket brand spacers in the same size, just double drilled for 5x4.75 and 5x4.5... works just fine for me...
