Default Source for wheel spacers?

Does anyone know of a source for wheel spacers approximately 3/16 thick that are hub-centric themselves and have a raised hub ring for the wheels to center on? Thanks.... Paul :flag

I doubt that anybody has a hubcentric spacer that is less than 1/2" in thickness. For most applications it is impossible to make them that thin.

Thanks for the responses. I think racercosmo is right - too thin. Maybe I'll try a "universal one and not worry about the hub.

DRM has 1/4" hub centered. I would go with hub centered regardless.

GM makes a hubcentric 1/8" spacer, very cheap ,for the 89 camaro I think. It was stock or an option for that year. I use these on my Z06.

I agree with Mike. I also got 3/8" through my favorite NAPA store that also specializes in race stuff. I got some 1/2" billet spacers from my local speed shop.
