Wheel Spacers
Just bought C6 Wheels for my FRC. Heard the back wheels need spacers. Anybody know how thick and where to get them?
Also, can I get the speedo adjusted for the larger wheels?

Vinci tuner can adjust speedo for whee/tire size. Be carefull of Active handling issues when overall front/back tire dimensions get far apart.

If those are OEM C6 wheels, I believe that the spacing difference is 12mm (just under .5"). To verify, compare your old vs new, using the technique shown here. Also ensure that any spacer you get is hub-centric (see below, right):
For where to buy, check the forum vendor sites and/or Google for Corvette wheel spacers.
As for the speedo adjustment, any of the popular tuning s/w or handheld tuners can accomodate that. You can predict the change by comparing old vs new tire OD with either of these tire calculators:

They make nice wheels to go with them too!
