Crate Engine Wheel Spacer

So the 5 mm spacers on their website are those gm made or are they made by another company?

I'm curious because they only list "ws5" as the sku but I wonder what the gm part number would be....

That is a viable option due to my current paypal issues....

With the 5 mm spacers you don't need the extended studs do you?

That is debatable. I have the spacer from powell and i used centring lug nuts and they work well, but i wouldn't feel safe on stock lug nuts with the spacers.

Stock lugs are lug-centric....
