a legit website to buy 3-5mm wheel spacers from
ive googled it.searched it on this forum and still havent came across anyone who has said anything about a legit website to get wheel spacers from.
members on here had mentioned either are old and out dated or bring me to a spacer but its for the wrong car.
i have IRL wheels with winter tires waiting in my garage for my SS/TC.
i know i either need a 3mm or 5mm to run safely.
anyone else done this and can chime in,please.
i found some on jegs but i feel like they are not the correct ones.
any help would be effin awesome lol

You can get custom hub and wheel centric spacers here
Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Technology
I had 3mm spacers ordered from them before

i live in MN and its mid december and we dont have any snow!!! im a snowmobiler so snow dont bother me but im wondering if i should wait to throw my snow tires/wheels on
u folks dont understand. the 5 mm spacer remains hub centric thats the whole point. If you need 3 mm that is possible we make them for CED and can do a set for you.
its when you use a spacer more than 5 mm you have to make a big jump in width, so that there is enough metal to make it hub centric inside and outside, and you then need the GMPP much longer studs, which CED have available. ARP dont make long enough ones, and making wheel studs is not a cheap process, and the folks who make them in volume wont do it in lots less than a 1000 studs. I have made longer custom studs and have made 1.5 inch spacers; if you need longer studs, which i dont believe u do, go with the GMPP ones....
