    Are you looking for spacers or are you earching the ones that change bolt patters? Either way check with AIM Industries. I normaly would not send any one there but theres is the only nome that comes to mind.

    I made a set to go from BMC ( 4X4" ) to Triumph ( 4X3 3/4" ).
    But only because I could not find a set in the right offset, etc...
    They do make what I needed for my Roadster ( 5X 4 1/2" to 5X5 1/2"), so I bought them.

    I got mine from MC Motorsports. Not cheap, but service is real good & fast.(5X4.75 to 5X5.5).DAVE

    I got 2 off a 4t64rd now I am going to go to a machine shop and use them as patterns to get my front hubs redrilled and use the adaptors on the back axle

    so maybe if you got things all tore to***** anyways you could buy one adaptor and redrill your bolt patterns?

    there is a guy in the tech section Trinary I think his name is? anyways he made a jig thing for redrilling bolt patterns in your hubs and axles have a look at his setup

    all i've seen were aluminum.

    like someone else said, you could try AIM, though they got issues. also, "the lugnut king" has em, like 40 bucks a pop i think.

    really no rocket science to it, if you're a machinist. if not, just buy em.
