Mr. Gasket makes the universal 10 hole ones that fit a variety of bolt patterns. They are not legal if you plan to race your car at the track, but the tech guys will never notice them either.

I bought a set of adapters off ebay...
adapters actually bolt to the hub/rotor, and then the wheels bolts to the adapters. This makes them much safer to use.

What size are you looking for?

To be completely honest, I wouldnt even drive a vehicle that has spacers or adapters. They are dangerous as all hell, especially if you're trying to do more than just drive it.

They do not allow for complete tightness and centering when tightening lug nuts. It is very common for a wheel to come off when spacers are used. Also, you will most likely need an alignment after putting on the spacers because the contacting part of the tire is in a different area.
