Wheel spacer on Chevy Camaro z28 1991

Hello
I just bought chevy camaro z28 1991 with 350 TPI.
I guess my original 16 inch wheels should have wheel spacer. Am I right? If yes could you please tell me what is the dimension of wheel spacer should be installed? Should it be mounted on all wheels or on rear wheels? Or on front wheels?
Thanks

The spacer was .187 thick and was installed for a couple of years and GM dropped them. You DO NOT need them with the 16" Iroc wheels. If you want more info do a search because I am tried giving the history of those spacers.

They were only used on rear drum brake cars AFAIK.

Even some disc cars had them--ask me how I know! The whole business seems to be hit and miss.

Are you sure about .187? I cant find such kind of type on http://www.summitracing.com. It tells 0.125 or 0.197 and nothing about 0.187.
