Looking for 1/2" spacers - Help.
Hey everyone, I need 1/2" spacers for my CCW street wheels to clear my AP T1 brakes.. anyone know where I can find them.. getting 2 sets of the 1/4" isnt the cheapest way to go and I cant seem to find 1/2" anywhere.
Thanks
Steve

On my car I used ALL44121 1/2" spacers, $19 from Summit.

Just so you know, I've used 1/2" spacers on the front for the same reason. It is NOT ideal. The extra 1" of front track width really throws off the balance of the car. It would cost me ~3 seconds a lap on a 2 min track. I'm sure if you only use them for the street you will be okay, but I would bet you'll still feel it

Thanks will look them up now.
Ya, these are strictly for the street, which wont see a lot of use at all. My 2 other sets of track wheels clear the brakes no problem, just my blingy set of CCWs wont

I think I got some 1/2" spacers in the garage that I bought from LG. I'll check and see this evening to make sure... I've used them maybe twice and that's it. If you want them, I'll PM you the details later this evening.

I'd be interested because I just looked at the ones from Summit... 38.00 for the spacers and 42.00 for shipping UPS to Canada. They dont even give me the option of 5.00 for USPS - brutal !
