If those don't pan out, our 5mm spacers are drilled for 4 or 5 lug.

$59.00 a pair (see them in the V-Caliper thread)

Thanks for the offer Mike....those are just a wee bit too wide. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Actually my perfect size would probably be about 1/2 inch but 3/4 would probably work. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I'll keep yours in mind Eric.

Not in any hurry, just started my search....

does anyone know the name of the guy on ebay that makes the custom ones?

what are you putting in you morning coffee Dan?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Those spacer in the picture is .500" or 1/2" or 12.7mm which is your minimum requested size (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Let me rephrase it: I have 2 spacers, they are 1/2" thick (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Find some old junk rear rotors and take them to a machine shop. Have them machine the hats off and leave just the mounting face. Voila' instant spacer. I think they are .500. I used them to push my rear wheels out to fill out the flares on my car.

did you even look at the price of those?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

besides, common practice is nothing thinner than 1" for spacers that use secondary studs for mounting.

I just ordered a set of longer lug bolt from here

I'll let you know what I think when I get them. I had a set of spacers made for my fronts at a machine shop. I'll post pictures when I get home.
