That's crazy lol I'm hoping to get the fitting from Alan later this week, I believe he shipped it yesterday. I also ordered longer -6an hose for the line that connects the rocker to the separater, the intake contacts the 90* fitting so we gotta extend the line to go around the intake. Then there's a couple little things we're taking care of.

Installed YYZs the other day and they are easily the best springs out there for these cars. They ride so nice and are super stable in the corners. Car feels totally different. Had shitty SSCs before (which john kept mocking me for having, hence YYZ purchase...on impulse...lol)

Thanks again John!!!

sorry I should have been more specific, 25mm adapter spacers for wheels in 5x110 to 5x110 for my ss/tc. I've been looking all over with no luck.

go on vacation in america and have parts shipped to hotel

i dont think powell makes them, next choice is custom adapter spacers built to your specs.

When I picked up some 5mm and my lugs, This shop said $180 for the 2 hub centric 25mm spacers.

I don't know prices, But since we are on the topic could someone let me know if that is a fair price or not?

Also I don't know if I am allowed to post there kijiji add, So just go to kijiji, Click car and vehicle, click the toronto/Gta area and type in the search bar "Wheel spacers"

and it should be the 5th add from the top sorted by prices

DSmastery is a bit harsh; but thats the first run, google. About 2,070,000 results (0.17 seconds)
https://www.google.com/webhp?rct=j#q...+wheel+spacers this was my second runm, 190,000 results in .31 secs. Motorsport tech do some very nice spacers, hard to get quick delivery I am sure, but anodized. very nice.

heres the deal.
1.You have to be at least 1.25 inch or more in thickness, to have enough material to make them hub centric. In otherwords, much thicker than the hub centric ring on the wheel bearing. Make it too close the spacer will crack at the hub centric ring.
2. you need longer studs, crate engine depot have some GMPP ones cheap enough, but my preference is to thread in arp bolts which may require making a notch in the wheel bearing to make enough room to clear the bolt to install. difficult.
3. For me to make them, buy a chunk of T6061 (100 bux or so) set it up on the milling machine ( 100 bux or so) then do a run of TWO ???? apacers you be whining like a stuck pig that 250 buxis outrageous for two wheel spacers...

its happened. lol.

we dont do it.
unless

I want it.

Can make any size spacer both hub centric and wheel centric if u have aftermarket rims with a bigger center bore then stock hub size.


Got my 10mm hub centric/wheel centric spacers from adaptec iirc
Custom milled rush ordered and rush shipped was here in about 3 days

that is correct. but the original question was 5x 110 to 5 x 110. so I assume stock wheel bores. If the aftermarket wheels have larger bores its a lot easier to make spacers for relatively small thickness which are hUB centric.

Hopefully you can provide a link for the folks on here who cant GDS.
