Wheel spacers?
I have a '99 FRC with stock z06 aftermarket wheels, would like to add a spacer to bump out just a bit. If anyone would be using them could you make a suggestion on size of spacer that is safe to use, and are you happy with the results-were you can purchase and show some pictures of the end results. Thanks for any input, you got to love the forum and it's members.

I just finished installing C6 rims on my 2002. The rears had a different offset.
I went with 1/4" spacer plates for the rears. There was enough threads left for me to still feel secure about it. But if I went any further in thickness - I'd of probably would of went with longer studs.

lancer033 said above that you can get a 5/8 set from ccw. i run 5/8ths but i had to use a 1/2" + a 1/8" together.
i'm going to get in touch with ccw to see how much their single 5/8ths spacer that lancer mentioned costs.

5/8ths is the perfect balance between the two sizes that you mentioned.

i've got a set of 3/4" Baer spacers that i bought from jegs that i don't need.

these are my actual photos.
be aware that if you do use them, you will need longer wheel studs.
i paid full retail as indicated in the jegs link. if you're interested i'll sell them to you for $50 shipped.
