IROC Wheel spacers

Hey I got the front wheels off of my IROC and noticed that the driver side had the spacer on it but the passenger side did not. Where can I find one of these? Are they NEEDED?



Thanks

The spacers on my IROC are on the back wheels only, Look at the rears and see if there is one there, if only 1 then thats where the one from the front belongs.

I saved this from a previous post.

"The info on the wheel spacers fpr your Alum. Wheels is as follows:
1) spacer thickness is approx. .150 +/- .020
2) GM p/n is 14091902
3) Price is $8.46 US each
4) Source is www.gmpartsdirect.com - Flow Chevolet in N.C. USA."

There have been many different answers as to why they had the spacers. To make up for the difference between brakes: 4 wheel disc, cast iron drums, and aluminum drums. To keep the drums from corroding and getting stuck to the wheel, and I forget what others. You don't NEED them thought I'm pretty sure. I got a set of '85-'87 style IROC wheels, I'm going to get the spacers for the hell of it, for a pair it's like 25$ or something... not too bad.
