Depends on what car.
In our case. FC3S are special. So why the hell not.

15mm? Probably SummitRacing or pepboys haha

Ebay has 1" Spacers for like 90$ a pair haha 5x114.3 it's hubcentric.

If you're looking for hub-centric spacers, they can be custom made:

there are alot of aftermarket parts for older popular cars.

my car is actually a first gen rx7 and the make hubcentric wheel spacers for it.
there is also alot of suspension aftermarket as well.

I just happen to have TII brakes up front.
Long as i know the bore size of the front hubs i can find something made for a differnt car thats the same as what i need. =)
