Default Best spacers to bring out rear wheels .5 inches ??

Looking for suggestions . I've been looking at tons of wheels and am nit happy with the selection of 19 inchers. I'm looking at sone BMW app wheels but in the meantime I'll hang on to my white zr1 18s.

Any spacers or good adapter out there?

Whats the bolt pattern on the wheels? I think half an inch is too thin for an adapter.. thats more spacer territory.

If you need a set of spacers, a company through my work makes some really nice spacers for our cars. I just ordered a set of .5" ones for my front wheels on my Cobra, I'll post some pictures of them tomorrow, and they're cheap too compared to most.

That woudl be awesome. can you pm me the price and post some pics. I need some right away. Im very impatient !

I guess I could even go 1 " the rears are in quite a bit. i was worried about going too far out that the tire might contact the fender if I hit a big bump.

I believe gms on the vette/camaro are 5x 120.65

ok 1 inch is too much I think .5 would be perfect. i just looked at some pics. I guess I could go with a spacer and longer studs.

I got the 1/2 spacers for my car in today. These things are beasty, and are great for the price. At my work they are 39.99 for the pair.

Most of the BMW's have a 120 x 5 bolt pattern compared to the Camaro/firebird 120.7 x 5 bolt pattern, and they have less positive offset then our cars.

So what BMW type wheels are you looking at that need spacers?

I believe the OP is not looking to put them on a camaro/firebird, but an older Corvette.

Well those ones posted above ended up being too little for me so I'm going to go with a 1" if you want these let me know.

Those spacers are not Hubcentric, there for multiple bolt patterns.
