Wheel spacers

I'm looking for a set of rear wheel spacers. I want to push the rears out 1/3 inch to 1/2 inch. I searched but the set I was planning on getting is unavailable now. Anyone know of any cheap but quality spacers in this size?

im using KTS adjustable spacers..extended studs etc.. got it for 200Cnd including taxes from orange303, who is affiliated with Tuning Spirit.

im using 5mm in the rear and 30mm in the front. on aftermarket wheels ..these are universal and not hubcentric... but i need them for looks and city driving so it didnt matter to me..

and KTS is a reliable brand from japan.. i know many peeps using their coilovers..ive had it for a few months no problems..

make sure you get the 12x1.5 though

note that installing longer studs in the rear requires disassembling the axle/hub from the spindle, it's a complicated job requiring necessary tools and strong mechanic skills, some kits bolt-on though if they're thick enough:

and it can negatively impact your handling some, though the avg person probably wouldn't know any better anyways

Are you using these with the factory wheels? I might have some suggestions for you. You should be able to run a 25mm studded spacer in the rear without having to modify your fenders. This would also eliminate the need to disassemble the hub.

They are the spacers I use on several of our race cars.

I found this online, looks like they are the only one who make hub centric spacers for the Mazda. I think 25mm is about 1 inch. Look like these are the ones that you are looking for...
