GTA wheel spacers

I used one inch adapters. Might be a tad more than needed but you can't run a spacer that is thick enough and the adapters pretty much start at one inch thickness.
same... I used a 1" spacer.
the "Front" wheels should have 4.75" backspacing, and the "Rear" wheels should have 5.25"
I didn't want to put alot of power thru a adaptor, so I used the wheels in opposite. So the adaptor is in the front. In the rear, I used a small 3/8" spacer with some upgraded ARP studs. But it's really your call...
the only thing I would advise on... carefull on your choice of adaptors. You can buy some cheapies off summit by a "TransDapt" brand name. I'm not saying the brand is bad, but these particular cheapies are cast aluminum... so they have been known to shatter on highperformance applications.
... it's worth it to pay a little extra for some quality billet ones, which are likely forged alloy.

Like Khan said, I got mine from Summit. I went with the cast ones just cause it was a temporary deal with the wheels. If I was to do it again I would go with the billet ones, Summit does sell them also.
lol, I've got the cheapy cast ones also... They have "universal" bolt pattern, so the bolt holes are oval, not round... so if you hit a hard bump, they can lose their center off the hub.
sketchy sh*t...
and I can already see the casting around the pressed studs starting to split and crack...
I'll likely be changing them this spring.
