Yes they do, I have been there and seen them. If they don't they just recenty stopped carrying them.

I can't remember where I bought them, but I have some 1/4" universal 4-5 lug spacers that were ~$10 a pair. I wouldn't use them on the street, but they work well enough for track use. Just search around for wheel spacers on google and you'll find hundreds of places that sell them.

excuse my ignorance, why not on the street? im asking because i really know nothing about it. im guessing they help with handeling.

They aren't exactly the strongest of metals, and I'd be worried about them compressing and the lugs coming un-torqued.

If you can even notice a change in handling from the extra 1/2" width, you're a good enough driver that it won't matter. I use them to keep the tires from rubbing on the spring perches. My street tires are narrower, and I don't have that problem. If I needed extra space for my street tires, I'd look for wheels with more offset, or some better fitting and better made spacers.

where would be the best place to get some as far as quality? i guess i could just go with the big names, but i would rather get some info from people who really know the car. i have been a member of scca since 96, and have logged thousands of laps, but all my seat time has been in nissan products. i have raced in a few solo events in my festiva stock so i have a starting point as far as feel goes. i have owned 5 heavily modified cars, 2 of them had spacers, but the original owners had put them on. any and all help is appreciated.

i use 1/4 inch spacers with my 15 inch rims, i never had a problem with them coming un-torqued

thanx.

O'Reillys carries the Mr.Gasket spacers. The max the had for the 4 lugs was the 1/4's.. I think. About the same price if I was to buy them online.
