hub-centric spacers.
1" hub-centric spacers?
I was on C5 gen and couln't find an answer. I have a C5 1998 with new Firestone runflats 19" rear and 18" rear. My tire guy anvised me that these are not the way to go. He didn't know that I was going to try to hit top speed.I cannot find these 1" spacers anyplace. does anybody have information as to where I may obtain the spacers that are 1" and are hub-centrisc? I'm told these are not hub- centric, thus not the way to go.

if you go with anything larger than 1/4" you do not want to use a spacer
you want to use a wheel adapters that has longer studs on them.
why do you want 1" ? You can get 1/4" from ccw wheels

I decided to SH-t can the whole idea, it just aint worth it.
I drive the car around 3,500 a year; it's stored in the winter and not even driven in the rain. Black is way to easy to scratch with road grime and it's just a toy that I drive when I feel like it. I have hit low 3 digit speeds maybe 2x for about 1 second since I have owned the car. I'm going to leave the spacers shown in the link at the top.
I think I should be OK with what I've already got. I went with 1" to bring the tire out exactly even with the top of the wheel well, strictly for appearance.

PM me if interested, but I do have some nice 1" hubcentric/lugcentric spacers and longer studs I am looking to sell. These were used safely on a roadrace z06.
