Circle Racing Wheels will make your rims any offset that you want, rather
than using spacers. I bought a set of Pannasports years ago, now using them
for
rain tires. Back then, they only made one size. Now I believe that they will
make rims with any offset that you specify.
If you are still into spacers due to using existing rims, and can't buy them,
pick up a little aluminum plate of the proper thickness, and take it to a
machine shop. Draw two circles on a paper, and show the bolt holes. Add
dimensions showing the ODs of the plate, hub hole, and bolt pattern. I have
some
government job plates made at Duquesne Light in the 70's. Some are 1/4 inch
thick, and others are 1/2" and 1" thick. With a TR-3, I am still using one
inch
thick spacers on aluminum hubs in the front.
