Where I can get some lightweigh spacers for my miata?

Post by Christos Adam »

Hi guys

I'm looking for 2x10mm and 2x5mm spacers for my miata but I don't know where to get them from.
Do you have any place to suggest?

Btw the issue is that my rear 275 A6 tires (on 949 15x9 wheels) are rubbing at the top inside the fender wells and also my front ones are rubbing on the sway bar and on the shock top mount.
At the front I'm already using 5mm spacers (Donated by Bill S - Thanks Bill :)) while at the rear I don't have any.
So the plan is to use the 10mm at the front and try the 5mm at the rear.

Thanks
Chris

I bet George Doganis has some handy too. All of his race cars (Sentra, CRX and Miata) use the same wheels.

I have a bunch of cheap universal spacers that you can mix and stack to get the desired spacing. I always have them in my autocross junk, see me this weekend if interested.

Hey Chris,

Can't tell you what the exact size is I'd guess about 5mm (swing by and check them out Sun afternoon at Cal Speedway). Lightweight alum $5.00 each from a shop in Covina.
Their not pretty, not hub centric, and made for multiple stud diameters/ quantities (then again this gives them less mass, kinda like Bill S's rotors)... but at $5.00 each what do you want?
