hub or wheel or rim spacers?
I know I'm not calling it what it is because I know what hub spacers are and I dont need one.
My camaro has 2.8 diameter in the hub, my new rims fit the bolt pattern but the hub is 3.62 in diameter. So I need a spacer that wll go on my hub so the rim fits snug on my car so all the weight isnt on my lug nuts.
Cant find them anywhere tried alot of parts stores dont get far calling them hub or wheel spacers either, the bolt pattern works so I dont need a hub spacer.
know where I can find 4 or what they are really called.

All the weight is usually on the lug studs anyways. The studs are strong, so I wouldn't worry about it as long as you've got them torqued high enough and evenly. I think spacers of any sort will warp your wheels rather than aid you in making them fit better. It might be better to get custom-made wheel hubs.
But if it really bothers you, and you don't have the money for new hubs, I'd buy another set of rims--they probably manufacture some that will fit your Camaro. Best of luck!

what your trying to do,,is not really safe,,the part your looking for can be found,,but some aren,t worth buying,,it would be in your best interest to sell the wheel,s,,and find a set that will bolt on,without having to have spacer,s,i seen a bad accident,,once because someone had used wheel spacer,s,,the lug nut,s have a tendency to work loose on them,,be safe,,hope this help,s you.

a spacer will warp/grind your inside axle/independent half shafts, better going with an axle that is suited fro your rims or ditch the rims
