hub or wheel spacer?

I know I'm not calling it what it is because I know what hub spacers are and I dont need one.

My camaro has 2.8 diameter in the hub, my new rims fit the bolt pattern but the hub is 3.62 in diameter. So I need a spacer that wll go on my hub so the rim fits snug on my car so all the weight isnt on my lug nuts.

Cant find them anywhere tried alot of parts stores dont get far calling them hub or wheel spacers either, the bolt pattern works so I dont need a hub spacer.

know where I can find 4 or what they are really called.

Some wheels are hub centric, and others are lug centric. All this means is that either the hub or the studs center the wheel. The actuall weight of the car is taken up by the lugs and the friction between the wheel and hub face. Don't worry about the hub not touching lots of GM cars left the factory that way.

I agree with Bmonte's statement. But if you still want to go that route the things you need to search for are called "hubcentric rings". You'll need to find one with a 3.06" ID and the 3.62" OD your new rims have.
