Default Very thin wheel spacers...

I just need the thinnest wheel spacers, maybe 2mm (?) for a little relief toward the center of Z wheels and SL6's. Is there such a thing?

You should be able to find 1/8" (~3mm) spacers at your favorite local parts store. I ran them on my old GTO to get a little bit of breathing room between the tire and the strut.

We can build you a .020 spacer if you need it!!!

1/4, 3/8 and 5/8 are always (most of the time) in stock

I have the 1/8" spacers but I get the fender rub with the 315 X 18's. The Z wheels clear without any spacers but not enough for comfort toward the center of the wheel. I am trying to split the difference between a little breathing room and getting the outside edge of the tire off the lip of the fender. The tire just barely rubs with the 1/8" ers. I guess maybe a 1/16" and just suffer what rub is there?

My bad! They are the 1/4" now. I maybe should try the 1/8". I'll check locally first and then DRM. Appreciate the guidance.
