Default Wheel Spacers

I wanted to bring out my rear wheels out so it looks more flush with the fender.
Anyone know where to get these for a good price? I am in the South Bay Torrance area.

thanks

here is a pic. My wheels are 40 offset and the rear sits more inside the wheelwell than the front. I also want to acheive a meaner look.

I already have a 3mm spacer, but was looking for an extension type with longer bolts. Any Ideas??

you can use a 5mm spacer with not to much trouble (they cost like $6 each), but that still wont bring them even with the fronts

i have 42 offset in front and 35 in rear (7mm difference) and the rears are still sunk in compared to the front. i'm going to get some 5mm spacers and i think the 12mm difference will probably get it really close.

so you'd have to run the more expensive 10 or 15mm spacers to get the rears flush, with the longer studs for saftey reasons. - check the scionlife store, they sell the h&r ones i think, which have a pretty good rep.

extra bonus of spacers - you get more grip when you widen the track.

downside of spacers - they put more stress on the wheelbearings
