Ok I know this has been covered, but I can't find the info.

I am runnng 315's on zr1's and I know I need a spacer in front. I installed the wheels and the rim is hitting a bump on the spindle arm. It looks like I need around 1/2 spacer.

Where is a good place to get spacers? Someone posted a link earlier but I can't find it.

Has anyone just ground off this bump? Will the wheels fit without a spacer in this case? I don't care about classes, I have no class!

Thanks,

TIm

Man, Rippie is VERY proud of his stuff. $390 for a 17x11 wheel???  (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Depending on the class (as in ESP) it's not legal to grind that bump off. Otherwise, that would be all you would need to do.

1/4" spacer will do it with 50mm offset wheels. Of course you could get 36mm offset ZR-1's and not have to buy or do anything!!!! That's what I use in the front.

You want a hub-centric spacer, don't get anything else. You will need at least 1/4" longer studs in the front also.

I got mine at http://www.wheeladapter.com/ They are $40 each, not cheap but you don't want cheap if you're going to race on them. They're made from 6061-T6 billet aluminum.

That wheel (if it's the forgeline) retails for $590 from Forgeline. I need a couple more of those and will probably get them from Rippie.

Scratch that. $390 for ZR1's is insane. $490 for FOrgeline RS 17x11's is what I'm looking for 2 more of.

Hello... is this thing on? *tap, tap*. I swear I just told you like two weeks ago that I deal directly with Forgeline. Remember????? Surely you'd rather deal with me than Doug Rippie? At least you know me. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Not only that, but they are in Dayton. If you want, I'm sure we could will-call them and save frieght (assuming you'd want to drive over there). And that price is not cheap for ZR1's, but I suspect they are REAL GM wheels and add the DRM price tag to it, you'll get a chunk of change.
