I'll be picking up a pair of Z06 wheels tonight so I'll be needing a pair of 2" spacers to make them fit up front. I may need them for the back too, but I'm also trying to find a 4th gen rear end so I was planning on holding off with a second pair for now. Let me know what you have.

I've got a pair of 2" ebay specials I've got $50 in. I have second pair but I'd like to keep them around until I figure out what I want to run on the street. PM me a zip and I'll get you shipping quote and a paypall address.

Are these hub-centric? I've heard some bad things about spacers that aren't hub-centric.


Stan, will I need a 2" spacer for the 18x10.5 set? If not, what size would I need front and back? I'll be installing the C5 front brakes so I've heard that will take 0.25" out of the needed front spacer thickness.

My spacers are non Hub-centric and I haven't had any problems. I got out the dial indicator once and checked wheel runnout. I don't remember what I got, but at the time I didn't think it was very much.

Need or want? A number of spacer thinknesses will work. I told you above what will work and all my info is documented on the 18x10.5 on a thirdgen thread. What I want or would like is 2/2.25 front/rear as a starting point then add on slip ons to get it spot on. I have C5 brakes in front and a 2" spacer. In the back I have a 4th gen width rear with .375" slip on spacers. Rear track is slightly narrower than the front. It'd be nice if I had .5" slip ons instead of .375. Or you could get out a tape measure and a plum bob and check this yourself.

I measured ~2.76" center, same as the 1.5" skultes I've got, I'd use a little bit of anti-seize on the hub before you put them in the back, they tend to get a little stuck on. They do have some black overspray on them from the PO, but nothing that hurts their functionality. For some reason I thought the fronts had a smaller hub size, but I just checked the 1.25" spacers I just got off ebay and they're not hubcentric. If given the choice I'd use hubcentric, but if there's fretting going on the studs are probably failing or about to fail anyway regardless of if the spacers are hubcentric.

I think thirdgen TA's may have slightly smaller fenders than camaros. 1.5" spacers w/ 58mm backspacing seemed about right in the back, still had some rubbing, but the tire didn't stick out. Up front I'm running ~1.4+ls1 rotors for spacers on some oddball 52mm BS wheels. More than 2.5 degrees of camber might help pull the top of the tire in.
