hub-centric spacers
Discussion
All
The issue I would like to solve is....
18 inch wheels off, 17 inch wheels with R888s on. Both are OEM wheels from DIFFERENT manufacturers.
The PCD is the same at 114.3 x 5.
However, the centre bore for the wheels coming off is 67.1 mm. The centre bore for the wheels to go on is 63 mm. As such the cars hub does not fit into the new wheels centre bore. Therefore the wheel sits 2-3mm proud of the rest of the hub - with the weight being born totally on the studs.
By way of a solution....is there such a thing as an off the peg hub centric spacer that will have a certain boor for the female end and a different one on the male end....or would I be into the world of pricey bespoke stuff - and therefore not worth it?

Well the 17 inch wheels are my spare wheels with track tyres on from my old car, which I retained instead of selling with the car - principally for the tyres. So there the loss isn't real money per se - but it is a hoped for saving gone!
The OEM wheels are 18 on the new car - but I want to stick with 17s because it reduces my rolling diameter - even if it means buying new wheels - especially if the spacers are £50 a corner!
I will have a poke about, thanks for the answer!
