Wheel Spacer thickness to run 15 x 8 slicks on stock 15 x 6.5 wheels on Gbody

[Xtrempickup]

anybody know or is running spacers with stock wheels and long studs that can tell me what thickness, i plan to use 15 x 6.5 stock wheels with 8 in slicks and they rub the struts without, not sure what to get and they show them in standard measurement and metric size. will be running on a daytona and would like to buy soon

Roughly 1/2 inch or 12mm. 15mm couldn't hurt.

thanks, anybody know if these cars are big or small bore or the bore size? ebay is a great place but no real help

I cannot remember off the top of my head. However the bore size is the same as VW. I ordered hubcentric 15mm wheel spacers for a 2002 Jetta and they fit perfectly.

i got a pair from pep boys universal 5 lug 5/16th should be enough

5/16 is what I run but you need long wheel studs to use them.

What tires? I don't have any problems running the MT 22 x 8 X 15's on the front of my Daytona. I do have 1/8" spacers in there, but they're not really needed. I have a pinky width clearance between the tire and strut. I'd have to assume the 24 or 26" slicks are a bit wider in the sidewall, though...
