sawblade wheels on a 87? what do you need??
i know you need spacers to mount the newer wheels on a 87 or older vette, but what size thickness are the spacers? i see mid america sells a set for like 300, i cant justify spending 300 for a 10.00 part, a 3/4 spacer is a 3/4 spacer it dosent mater if its used on a corvette or a camaro........thanks Rick

We have a local performance parts place (mostly ricer stuff though) that has the adapters for $50 a piece. Cheapest I found online was $75. I think you can find spacers cheaper than adapters, though.
Don't know what thickness you need. I went with the y2k wheels, so probably different than what you are doing. Just got them on an hour ago, can't wait for tomorrow to try it out!

I just got mine for $199 from Mid America. It's an adapter with studs, not a spacer. Works great. Good luck.
Also, check ebay, I've seen them on there too.

Check out Performance Wheel Outlet. Their phone number is 909-825-5242 and their web site is http://www.performancewheeloutlet.com
They have a bunch of oem and oem style wheels, but with backspacing for older C4's like ours. I got a set of A mold wheels with the correct backspacing for my 86 in 17X9.5" for $750 for the set of 4. I believe they have the sawblades in the correct backspacing so you won't need spacers.

I put 95 Sawblades on my 87.. with out the spacers.. didn't look right..So I bought the spacers from eiher Eklers or MAD not sure but they were designed for this purpose and are worth the money
