Wheel spacers

Hi guys is there anyone who can make me a set of 2" wheel spacers out of steel? I'm going to mold my own fender flares and I want to run spacers considering I put new tires on my c5 a month ago.

Here's one link and there are plenty of others including on the big auction site:

Thanks company seems reputable. How long did you run. Spacers for and did you have any problems. I thought about this today but those spacers are stronger then the aluminum wheel hubs are made from on thE newer corvettes so it's probably safe. I drive my car hard like 90 mph around turns hard it mAkes me nervous

I run a set similar to these on my daily driver Nissan 350Z and have had zero issues with them. I am looking at a set for my Vette to push the wheel out flush with the fenders...

You have no profile so we don't know anything about your
vette. My guess is you have a low powered vette. My shop
frowns on spacers for high powered vettes but the other is
ok. Have fun.

Live in good old jersey. Cant wait to mold them in I love custom body parts this was my last part that I made ZR1 ish styler bumper.

Hand sculpted most of it and painted it myself.

I deff gonna buy spacers for now and prob like 2 years from now when im ready to get another set of tires I will buy rims and tires then for the offset.
