Spacers don't fit in front
I bought the spacers from Hawks thirdgen parts for my car and the ones in front don't fit around the center. The center hole in the spacer isn't wide enough to fit around the piece coming out. There isn't this "piece" in the rear so no problems there. I thought these spacers were MADE for these cars. I'm pretty upset, my car is an 83 firebird. If people don't understand what I mean, I will take pics tomorrow.

OK here is what you do... BOLT Them on... watch as you bolt them on....that center LIP section will PRESS out of the spacer....
Vette brakes when making the thicker spacers for whatever reson used this pressed in wheel centering lug>>> its not needed because the wheel used the lugnuts to center itself...
Unless they have changed the design you will be fine..
