Default Where do I buy wheel spacers and what size do you recommend?

I have 13x6 Wheels with 22x13x8 M & H Slicks. The tires are slightly rubbing the upper control arm. What size spacers would you recommend and where can I get them? I put my slicks on and couldn't even run with em


I am in need of 12's

Thanks,
Miguel

they'll work on any but if you have bogarts they bolt up to the rim which is nice.


what's real nice is that they are made out of machined aluminum so they are light as hell too. In addition they'll fit any I almost hate sell em in case i ever need em again..

i bought my 0.25" wheel spacers at pep boys for about $5 each. my hx rims would rub the caliper of my SI-R suspension and after putting on the spacers, that cured the problem. but, i did buy longer wheel studs as well for safety.

Maybe the size of the wheel/slick makes a difference. **shrugs**

If you buy bogarts, the actual rim is made for the spacer. Was it rubbing full of air? Cause if you get it down to about 10 pounds or below, they might stop rubbing. And yes, those wheels are not wide enough at 6 inches. If its just rubbing a little bit, maybe smooth out the area where its rubbing to give it a little more clearance....mike
