1/4" Hub-Centric Spacers question
Is anyone running an 1/4" spacer? I need one for my 16in drag set up.
Where can I find a 1/4" hub-centric spacer? Or should I just run a flat spacer, I have heard horror stories about them but still unsure on what to do. Thanks in advance

I ended up running a 10mm spacer with a hub ring. No issues with either my Forgestars or my OEM's. Keep in mind depending on what wheel you have and lugs you use it will also help center the wheel. I was going to go hubcentric but couldn't find anything at the time for the vette that size.

Also put in the longer studs when using spacers. ARP are the most popular brand. If you are going to do it, the best way is to pull the axle out (rear) and use a press to remove the old and install the new. You can google may other options but that was the way I went.
