Appreciate it Tom, I did see this link before. While I like the price, unfortunately these are nut hub-centered. I'd rather play it safe w/o relying on the lug nuts to keep the wheels centered.

Appreciate it Jon, I read from previous threads on this & other forums that the steel wheels I was considering work in most cases. Appears that wheels w/ same model # may be of somewhat different shape depending on which factory made them. In my case grinding the calipers would remove too much for safety. I did consider the J Hupy solution as I don't need the full 2" for caliper clearance. Tried to reach him w/o success. Also figured that changing the studs in the existing hubs will add quite a bit of expense and carry some risk.

So the bolt on 2" spacers seem to be the best way to go. Price is steep so I was hoping to find used ones.

Thanks again,
Franz
