I'm looking to see if anyone might have a set of wheel spacers they might not want or aren't using anymore. I have found these ranging in price from $90-$150 for a set. If anyone has any info for a set of these for cheap please let me know.
Thnx everyone...

Ed, BT has them. What do you need spacers for?

I Have some as well, but they are a little thicker than the BT ones so you'll need to get longer studs. The BT ones fit with the stock studs.

I have wanted to add a set to my rear tires mainly for some looks. I have heard that they are good but to make sure I get the right ones because a cheap set would wobble like V6 said. It's just something I have wanted to do for a while and thought I might try it out since I'm redoing my calipers and rims.

For what you're trying, if really recommend adapters as opposed to spacers. They have studs built on so that they'll be secure. With spacers you typically lose some of the stud so the lugs don't have any length to bite on.

I've checked a few places and when I do a search for Wheel Adapters it brings up the Spacers  |

Yeah, they're called the same thing. Can't remember who else posted a thread about this. But anyways, here's the rundown. You want wheel spacers that look like this. These will slide over your stock lugs, and bolt up just like your wheels would, but then have studs themselves to bolt you wheels to. They are usually machined billet aluminum so they are usually true and straight as long as you get them from a reputable dealer.  NOT wheel spacers like this. It's not worth the risk, and the machine quality just isn't very good because there usually cast, instead of billet.  |

I'd personally stay away with the multiple bolt pattern spacers, I've seen when those have cracked just from everyday driving, and especially when stupid tire guys just go full blow to put the wheel on it and overtorque the wheel by 100 ft lbs.
