Question Brake disc's need spacing out

Anyone know where I can get some 5mm spacers that will fit inside a brake disc? I'm fitting 2wd cossie brakes into a RS2000 but they hit the ball joints I had this when I used the FRS setup but as the disc's where so big a normal wheel spacer would fit inside those!

Can you not trim down the outer diameter of a set of spacers and use them?

I guess I could but wouldn't be able to on a milling machine as it would go into the holes so would have to use a grinder or something quite a lot needs to be removed
