Fracked up measurements, need some hubcentric wheel spacers

4MuscleMachines · Feb 22, 2007

I fracked up the backspacing on my new wheels for the rear axle on my car and they mount too much inwards.

I need to space them out about 1/3 to 1/2 inch to get the perfect stance.

Are there any wheels spacers that are about that thick and hubcentric and where can I get them?

Thanks for the help.

your gonna need adapters instead of spacers for that thickness

about 90 bucks a pair and some will make to your specs

Check ebay. I got a set of 1" spacers for $50.

I was thinking the spacers would also be hubcentric to the center of the wheels somehow. Also, I am looking for .35-.5inches, so half an inch thick at worse.

I used to deal with a company called Coyote Ent. Add they made me some that were almost 2" for my chevy truck. But if you REALLY need hubcentric, then maybe some of the sompanies can make them to your specs. But check AIM Suspension and get a mini truck magazine, that have a few ads in there too.

Why do you think you need hubcentric spacers? Our cars were never designed to be run with hubcentric wheels.

Also, for under 1" you can't really get a bolt on adapter as the existing studs are 1" long and will stick out past the spacer. You might get lucky where your wheels mount (bullit wheels for example) as some wheels have a recessed area between the lugs.

For 1/2" I'd just go with a regular spacer and longer wheel studs.

i've been running some Mr Gasket spacers (3/8" i think) on my front 15x7's for years on my car and they aren't hub-centric. in fact i've been using the stock wheel studs with them too. of course once i actually install your old 454's that'll change. gonna need the spacers when i put the 15" wheels on the next car though.

Hi Frank,

Have you looked at Baer? After working in auto parts for 20+ years I'd have to say theirs are the highest quality ones I have seen. They are CNC'd from 6061-T6 (sounds good). I don't believe they will be hub centric though since they are listed by bolt pattern only. I thought I needed hub centric wheels and was disappointed when my VWW wheels came and weren't. After researching I am finding they don't need to be. Have you found out otherwise?

The Baer part #'s are
.375 2000009 for a pair @ 5 on 4.5 & 4.75 bc
.500 2000010 " " " " " "
I am pretty sure that they are drilled for both patterns not slotted for both (10 holes vs 5 slots)

Are these for the Boss 351?

Nice cars! I step out on a limb on here and say I really like your Camaro too !

Thanks for all the input guys, I guess I really don't need hubcentric spacers. I am just too anal about it all.

Yes, they are for the Boss 351. Thanks for the kind words on the Camaro, it is getting a refreshening as well. I just got the Baers today, the exact part you mentioned, I agree they are nice.
