Where to get wheel spacers.
I want to put the C6 Z06 brakes on my C5 Z. I put my wheel on a C6 Z the other day and i need about 3/16- 5-/16 more room to make it fit perfect with some clearance. Where can i get a wheel spacer? only need for the front.

I wouldn't trust a "universal" stud design like that... especially since none of the sizes are hub-centric. You get what you pay for.

Get adapters instead of spacers - they're safer

Notice that in the link you provided, they are all a minimum of 1" and none of them are hub-centric.

Chris, I'm not sure putting your C5 Z06 wheel on a C6 Z06 will give you the answer you need as I think you'll close to a 1" spacer to get clearance over the C6 Z06 caliper.
Here's a post I did last year once I figured out the proper offsets (it took me 3 sets of rims to get it right)

PM me if you have any specific questions
