Default Wheel spacers?

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if anybody here had good angled pictures of what 6mm and 8mm wheel spacers on the OEM Z51 wheels looked like? I’m a bit it a purist and don’t want aftermarket wheels. However, I don’t like the sunken in look of the C7 wheels. I already have a clear bra on and I understand putting wheel spacers will make me run through the clear bras at a much faster rate. It’s an evil that I am ok living with. Thanks in advance!

Before going too far I'd look into how much wheel stud you will have for the nut w/ the spacer. The studs don't look every long to me. You could do a quick mockup w/ stacks of fender washers. Also look at the depth of the wheel centering ring on the hub. How effective will it be w/ an 8mm spacer.
