i have universal spacers on the front of my saff to clear the calipers!the wheels locate fine you just have to fiddle with the wheel height until you mange to get the stud lined up!getting them machined would be costly in my opinion!

yes but then arent the wheels putting all the stress on the bolts instead of the hub? surely you run the risk of shearing a bolt this way? i meant can you buy spacers already machined this way i:e a 15mm spacer with the outer machined down to say 5mm leaving 15mm of locating ring for the wheel.

I used some spacers from Demon Tweeks made by Simoni Sport Action which have the spiggot on them, but they are a minimum of 15mm because of this.

My mate has 7mm I think on his S2 and the locator is well inside that so his wheel is only located by the wheel bolts.... Then on the way back form a show I went passed him and noticed his wheel was not central 
Nuts_RS also does/did locating spacers I believe....
