Hi Jerry,

I'm not sure I understand quite what the hitch is just yet. Some pics would sure help.
Are the weights hanging up on the drop center of the wheel? The way I understand things, the weights are bolted to the center dish. The drop center on the wheel is all I can think of to cause a hang up. However, with the wider wheel, the lug placement could be different relative to the wheel's width. This could cause clearance issues with the fenders, or change wheel spacing. Mabey you will have to flip the centers around, or put the weights on the outside etc. Again, I'm not clear on what the hang-up is.
I would be leary of making a spacer to fill the gap between the center and the lugs, unless it was a thick piece of plate in a large ring. Basically, just a thicker center. That would weigh more than the present weights you have..... Dunno, I just worry about the overhung load being placed on those poor old bolts and wheel lugs if you go putting small spacers in there to take up the space. Mabey if I understand exactly what you're up to I'll have more worthwhile to say.
