Wheel spacers

Does anyone know where to find a set of 1/4" wheel spacers for a 5 on 51/2" F-100 lug pattern? I put a set of 79 Bronco rims on mty truck and the front rim is about 1/16" away from my tie rod end and sometimes knocks off a wheel weight. Thanks for any help.

There is a company that advertises in FOURWHEELER magazine that makes or distributes wheel spacers.

They are called Performance Wheel and Tire, phone number 303-762-8875.

Do a search on the net for them!

Thanks Matt,I went to Performance wheel but their wheel spacers start out at 1" and I need 1/4" but I got some spacers for the back end from them. They look like real good quality items as my tires were rubbing on the rear inside wheel well, this will fix that problem.So my search continues for 1/4" wheel spacers.

Go to the local chain auto parts store, and look by where the lugnuts and stuff are on the shelf. They should have some 1/4" thick wheel spacers there, with holes to accommodate generic lug patterns. Not an unusual part at all.
