Howdy,
Alan, can you make other thicknesses for that price? I'm currently running 5/16" crap spacers and would like some hub centric ones just so the spacer is captured. Even at 5/16", the wheels I have center up on the bit of hub protruding past the spacer. Mark |

Howdy, Alan, can you make other thicknesses for that price? I'm currently running 5/16" crap spacers and would like some hub centric ones just so the spacer is captured. Even at 5/16", the wheels I have center up on the bit of hub protruding past the spacer. Mark Yes, I can - I thought I had a spacer post in the vendor section but it is in the tire/wheel section. Here's my prices: 1/16" $40/pr 1/8" $40/pr 3/16" $45/pr 1/4" $50/pr 3/8" $60/pr Add $4 (for up to 2 pr) for USPS shipping to the lower 48, and CA sales tax for deliveries to a CA address, PayPal to ablaine (at) cruzio (dot) com I have not found any 5/16" sheet or flat bar stock of 6061, so can't supply that thickness. I use 6061 Aluminum, cut the hub hole to be a snug fit to the hub, so fronts or LS1 rears won't go on a LT1 rear, and conversely, LT1 rears will be about .020" large on the front or on a LS1 rear (or C4/C5). I think it's important for the spacer to index on the hub, just like the rotor does, to provide a stable base for the wheel to be clamped to. I also agree that the wheel should not exert any force on the hub if the lugs are torqued correctly. I don't have any tech on that, just the "it hasn't been a problem that I'm aware of" reasoning, backed by a huge number of LT1 4th gens that have OEM wheels that miss the front hub by about .020".
