Default Hub Centric Spacers wanted!

Hey all,
Just bought some new wheels... I need two hub centric spacers for the rear of my c5. about 10mm would be ideal. Can anyone tell me where i can find them. Tried the universal spacers and just couldn't get them to center properly.

You don't need hubcentric, the acorn nuts do all the centering for you. But if you feel you must, check ebay.

Typically, people change out for longer studs and keep running the acorns.

Hey Jamie, are you using the RUFF RACING rims??? Your definitely going to have to change your studs out to longer studs when using the 10mm spacer or else the lugs will not stay on as you'll only get approx 4 turns from them. Go with ARP bolts, should cost around $40 to $50 bucks at the GM dealer. You might be able to find them online but I don't remember the exact size/code for the studs you'll need. Again, the GM dealer should have this info.

What rims are you going with? Center hub sizing will come into play.
