wheel spacers and studs
Hi Guys,
Can someone tell me who makes aluminum 3/8 to 1/2" spacers that are hub centric for C5 vettes?
Also, who makes longer wheel studs?
Thanks!

I know all about spacers. We have been making and selling them for a long time. You can't do a 3/8 inch and make it hub centric. The problem is the wheel hub sticks out a 1/2 inch using stock rotors. There just isn't room for both, spacer and hub. I get the 1/2 question a lot, and why not. Well it's because there would only be a very thin piece of aluminum holding the snout on. We only offer a 5/8 inch with the hub centric option. With 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch in non-hub centric.
We have found in the past couple years some aftermarket brake rotor companies are using very thick hats. This offers a huge problem is guessing wheel spacers from half way around the world. I have a simple worksheet that I can send you if you need something custom.
Studs are easy from us. They come in 1/2 longer for 22.95/set of 10 and 1 inch longer race studs for 42.95/set of 10.
Thanks

got studs from DRM and 5/8" spacers from CCW (www.ccwheel.com)
If you're looking for 5/8" I've got a spare set that I could sell. They're for stock wheels. Not sure why, but the stock wheels didn't fit on the spacers I had been using with my replica wheels, but I sold the OEM wheels so I don't have a use for these anymore.

When they say 30mm system, it means 15mm thick spacers on each side; and one pack includes two spacers and needed longer studs(if needed). They are incredibly lightweight.

Randy,
Can DRM make spacers in other sizes than what's listed on the site? This would be for my C3, not a C5.
Thanks,
Chris
