You'd have to look online, I just bought some 8mm off a parts store and they told me noone would carry any bigger because it's a liability and "illegal" .

Did you ever get to buy any?

@albert> Do you have a pic of these installed? Is there a link you could give me or just let me know where you got them from, 8mm sounds like it would look pretty nice Thanks :)

I got them at a part store, they are made by cp automotive, and the exact size is 5/16 alluminum .
Theyr a universal part so they are not hubcentric, that's why i'm hasitant about intalling them, they were 14 buck for a pair.

I will post pictures tho.

isnt 20mm huge? i think thatd stick out a ton

2CM? About the same as two finger nails side by side. Lets say, >.........<
I think that would be a little on the big side. If I were to do with any, it would probably be about 5-7MM. Not anything that others would notice, just somthing I would notice. Maybe others that are also Monte Carlo enthusiasts would notice.
Ive never been one to like the wider than stock wheel base.
I dont see anything wrong with having 20MM (2CM) spacers though, if thats what you like?

So I bought some 5/16 (8mm aprox) spacers, and i got a hold of some steel 5 lug spacers 1/8th (3mm aprx) off the the junk yard.

With out any spacers the lug nuts after being torqued is flush with the lug bolt. after installing the 8mm spacer i noticed that it didn't turn as many threads as original 8 1/2 turns torqued. with the spacer the lug nut would only turn 3 1/4 turn, risky. So i try out the 3mm steel spacer and the lugnut turned 5 1/2 turns.
I decided that this was safer than my first attemps with the 8mm spacer.

I noticed the lug bolt, i think are the originals, dont have the treads to the full length of the bolt they stop at about a quarter of and inch before.
I may use the 8mm spacers if i can get a hold of longer and reinforced lug bolts.
but 20mm or 25mm spacers would look really nice i think, more flush
