Where to get wheel spacers

i mainly need them in the front because thats where my problem is. but i suppose it would be better if i had them on every wheel. im sure some of you heard what is wrong so to make a long story short 205-55-16 rubbed my front springs and now the coating is gone in a part exposing my spring. so what i am asking is where can i get 15-20mm wheel spacers

Thanx

The only spacers I've really heard of (that aren't custom) are H&R and cost like $150 for two.

Don't quote me on that, but IIRC this is what I found out when I was considering running FD wheels.

Well AL spacers with bolts pressed into them are known to snap and cause your wheel to loosen or remove when under stress. SO I have ordered spacers withotu studs from a guy on ebay he sells them with studs and then I emailed him asking for the sutom job. I also bought 20mm longer than stock ARP studs to replace the stock studs with.

im kind of wondering the same thing. im going to buy h&r 15 mm spacers that just fill in the space (useing longer studs) on the front. but then for the back i need ones that have its own studs and are bolted on. i know i can find those....but with the right bore and it being hub centric....im having no luck. just wondering how much some of you people paid for custom spacers like the ones im trying to find.
