Wheel spacers

[Blue Flame Restorations]

The convertible Project is about to begin.

I need to find a supplier for wheel spacers, not adapters. Is the correct word "concentric"? I will need at least .500 (1/2") spacers, maybe more? I have purchased long wheel studs already.

The rear wheels are 13" Dymag GenII's and fronts are 11".

Also need a set of C5 calipers, if anyone has a nice set for sale at a good price.

Thanks

Concentric would be describing 2 circles with the same center. Hubcentric is a wheel or spacer that is centered by fitting on the hub. Lugcentric is centered by the torque of the lugnuts. I think. :D

Well I learned something today :handshak:

Me too. I think I need hubcentric then. I just want the spacer not to move.

I have two that are 0.75" thick - fastened to the hub with wheel nuts and have studs for the wheels. Interested? I can probably round up 2 more if you need a full set.

Mine are both hub and wheel centric spacers. 18mm and I use GM racing studs for the rears.

These 13" Dymags will be my determining factor, I think?? I emailed Daniel to see what spacers he has, if any. The rotor hat depth will be a factor too. running stock rotors until the car gets painted, then something more performance oriented.

The special offset makes the need for a sway bar monuting that sucks the sway bar inward OR Dieline made a narrower sway bar. My wheels want to rub on the stock sway bar mounting bracket. I have about 1/8" clearance. Too close!!

Use of the spacer is dependent upon wheel offset. My Z06 wheels are a 57mm offset. The 18mm spacer brings them much closer to the 36mm stock offset for ZR-1 wheels. So even if you have 13's depending on offset, a spacer could push them out too far. Need to check.

Call Gary at Vette Brakes and tell him what you want to do and ask what he recommends. Tell him I referred you to him. He is probably the most knowledgable about what will fit and what can work. 727-345-5292

Thanks, Tyler.

I should be able to replicate what Daniel has or very close. Pete and I will see what it looks like next month.
