Does anyone still sell rear hub spacers?
IM trying to find someone who still sells the rear hub spacers or any tips on how to do it I guess if I cant find any I will just add 2 washers for some camber and not space the hubs, would still love a wider track though.

Got something against wheel spacers? Lots of sources for those.

PG still has an active web page. I wonder if there is anyone still at the end of the stated email address

"Each setup is different, so if there are any questions on which Penguin Garage Rear Hub Spacer is correct for you don’t hesitate to email us at sales@PenguinGarage.com or shoot us a PM."

Yeah, I tried emailing them and had no luck :( I guess I could use wheel spacers but I have seen those fly off mid corner.

A lot of people here, myself included, running wheel spacers for many years. No issues. If someone has them fly off, it would be a result of not having installed longer studs to ensure you still had enough threads to properly secure the lug.

Looks like you are showing us ICHIBA Version 2 wheel spacers. Have not seen anyone here installing those yet. Everyone has used Version 1 style spacers and replaced the studs with longer ones. Don't see why they wouldn't be ok provided you wanted to live with that many fasteners per wheel and a minimum thickness of 15mm.
