in need of a set of 4 spacers for my car to properly clear my tires for auto-x...

yes i have the longer wheel studs installed, so that's not an issue...

no they wouldn't see street time unless it's the first heat cycle on the sticky tires(And i take it easy for that heat cycle)

that being said... 5x100 bolt pattern(5x4 for you older folks) center bore has to be bigger than 57mm(the stock neon hub size) and needs to be 1/4" or 5mm thick...

any places to find something like this, or anyone with a mill willing to whip up a set by this weekend? :goof

thanks all!

just got the most brilliant suggestion over the weekend...

take an old set of brake rotors(or drums if you're that ancient) and have them cut down to just the hat area... so instead of buying a set of spacers, i'm just going to have to wear my brakes out faster!

anyone with a neon, VW, Cavilier, Celica.... have an old set of rotors laying around? ;)

I can laser cut you some, just need to know what dimensions you need. Bolt spacing, bolt diameter, hub diameter and overall diameter.
LMK if your interested.

Yeah, I would laser it to the size I am told it needs to be within +/_ .010. That is the basic capabilities of a laser.
