Wheel Spacer?? HELP!!
'06Z. I Can not really afford to upgrade the OEM Wheels, therefore I want to get spacers without having to chage anything, in other words, i just want to drop spacers..no bolt or stud changing. i will drop the car 1 inch. what size do any of you recomend to give it a mean look, without rubbing and where can i get them. really appreciate your input thank you.

The most common seems to be 1/4" spacers with extended thread lugnuts and the stock studs. Have that combo on my car and it works fine. You could use 3/8" spacers and have the tires not rub the fenders, but that requires longer studs.

Do you have a Z06 like the OP has? If you have a base coupe you have different wheels, tires and fenders, so what works for you might not work on a Z06.
