Wheel spacers needed
I need to find some thin wheel spacers for my '05 coupe. Only need 2 - 2 1/2 mm, or about 3/32 inch. Everything I'm finding online is thicker than that and needs longer studs. I don't need that much. Just a teensy weesie nudge off the calipers.
Can anyone help me with this? Point me in the right direction? Would be very much appreciated.

Check out http://www.motorsport-tech.com/wheel_spacers.html although they have listed on the site the minimum is 3mm.
Also check out Pfadt - they make a 1/8 spacer.
You could try extended thread lugs instead of replacing the studs. I've seen posts from other forum members who run spacers with ET lugs although I would not run ET lugs with spacers larger than 1/4".
Another option http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-p...f-members.html. They're pricey, but it is another option (approximately $110 for 20 short lugs shipped). You would need to contact the vendor for an exact quote with shipping to your zip code.
I run 1/4" in front and 3/8" in the rear. I had the studs replaced with ARP 1/2" to be on the safe side. The ARP 1/2" studs are not much longer than OEM studs. When I had the studs replaced, the mechanic and I checked to make sure the lugs were not bottoming out. I could run with or without spacers using my 5 spoke OEM wheels and the ARP studs.
