I wanna have the car reasonably symetrical and I need the thickness of the rear driver's side wheel spacer dimension to have the car look not so Karmanesk. I was wondering who is the best vendor for this pacer and how safe it was to use. I also need the stud dims. Is there a better wayyyyyy? Can ya help a brother out ovahere?

Maybe you're referring to the thickness of the rear rotor?

If you weren't familiar with the how the rotor and hub marry, I could see how someone may think there's a spacer there.

Or perhaps the rear alignmemt shims?

At any rate, yeah, there's no stock spacer. These cars are notorious for some variance side to side. It usually is most noticable at the rear tires because everyone tries to stuff as much tire as possible under the rear fender and clearance becomes the issue.

My car seems to be about 1/8 of an inch off.

Can you descirbe your issue better? Rear alignment could be a factor but it probably won't be a huge difference.
