Anyone know of a place that has them?  My wheels just barely don't clear the rear brakes, I've no interest in cutting the wheels, and have a good reason for not wanting to go thicker than is necessary on the spacer.

Slow and proud

For an easily renewable and replaceable source, keep a package of thin-slice bologna with you. Whip open the package, eat a few holes in the right places, and pop 'em on! (With or without the racy red plastic stripe around them, your choice) Also comes in handy for long impound delays when you are held up and missing lunch...

Once or twice - or anytime that someone wants to know "what's the worst that can happen?"

For something that thin, you can go find your local laser or waterjet job shop, give them a dimensioned drawings, and they can cut a custom spacer out for you out of .060 sheet aluminum.  Make it full bearing.  Probably pretty cheap.

See my sig, below.... Particularly the reference to my DSP car, AKA "Supertrike" LOL. There was a video Cashmore shot circulating around a few years ago of the offending wheel departure...

I also remember when I was running the old E30 Bimmer DSP car (also 4x100), my codriver came up with some really thin spacers, like 1/8 inch or less, that he told me were factory parts from an old Fiat (he was a little bit nutty, a real Fiat freak)... may be thin enough to work, if there are any to be found and he wasn't hallucinating.

I got to see it in real time in ATL. The dismount of the offending wheel was most impressive.

How quick do you need them? I have access to laser processing......  need ID, OD and it appears 4 holes on 100mm bolt circle?  Ill make them out of mild steel, there will be a small cost involved but nothing too extreme....

 umm, which co-driver was that and did he get the idea from me?  Fiat X-1/9 has steel spacers about 1/8" thick but the bolt patern is 4x98.  drill em out to fit, I've been running them over 10 years cause I'm a cheap SOB.  I even have the .063 6061 AL layin around the shop, oh yeah, I'm a lazy SOB

That'd be the ever-wacky and resourceful (but mainly wacky) David McDaniel. Since he has a Fiat fetish to beat all, I assume he came up with that all on his own, but who knows? At this point, I assume it's probably harder to find Fiat parts than it is to have some made, though...

If you're going to be a smarta$$ and not listen, then don't ask ;) 

That was a serious answer. Sorry you don't like it.

You could always buy wheels that fit

I'm going to make some out of 5052 sheet stock.  It looks like there isn't anything out there for sale in this size, and making them from sheet stock will be way less work than machining down some thicker spacers.
