I got mine from Alan Blaine:

Be sure to get the lightening holes. My 1/2" spacers were $100 shipped.
Edit to add: Get the Smileys spacers. I got mine from Alan because he answered some questions regarding setup. I didn't know that I "paid" that much for his advice however!

What sizes do we need to try and stock in our trailer? 1/4 and 1/2 inch?

Just about everyone is using 1/2 inch on a 4th gen. You want max width you can use and be under the rules limit.
1/2" set and a pair of 1/4" can't hurt. I've tried swapping 1/4" front/rear as tuning aids at times.
For me, anyway, I tried the 3/4" on the front but didn't have enough lug nut thread engagement to feel comfortable. That was with salad shooters & ARP studs.

Thanks. I think I have a and 1/8" or 1/16" on the rear and 1/2" on the fronts. I'll get these to try at Hallett.

W/ GM 17x9 wheels and 1/2" spacers, you will be 1/8" under max track for a 4th gen.
W/ 17x9.5's you could be over. Non-OEM offsets will affect this as well.
W/ 16x8's and 1/2" spacers, you will be way under.
Just FYI, on a Fox:
w/ 17x9's on the rear and no spacers you are 2.5" under max track width. To get any more width you will need to hack up your stock quarters and put on expensive aftermarket flares that will take countless hours to make work.
I know this kindov hijacks the thread but I don't want anyone wasting $$ on spacers if they won't actually fit.
