Default Can't find 1/2" spacers for C6?

I've been looking but I can't seem to find any. I don't want the generic universal ones, but I'll go with those if that's my only option. Any help?

I sell a 5/8 inch hub centric spacer for the C4-6s. The reason for the extra 1/8 is because it needs the extra room for the hub centric.

The OEM studs many not be long enough.....if not, you'll need longer ones, or consider hubcentric adapters like these..

Thanks, Randy. I'll check that out as a possibility. Hubcentric adapter would be nice but they don't make any in 1/2".

If someone sells you a 1/2 hub centric spacer, it will NOT work. The wheel bearing hub will hit the AL spacer's hub and break it right off.

Not looking for hubcentric necessarily, just want 1/2" spacers without the universal bolt pattern. i.e. 5x4.75". That's all.

i think you are hit. if you go with bolt ons you will have to cut your studs and tuni's are all you going to find in non bolt on's. been looking for 3/4" for my c4 for a minute!!!!
