Gary,

   The spacer idea is an excellent idea!  Are they just circles
with four lug holes and an inner/hub hole cut from 1/4 flat stock?
Is there a trick to making them- like a any taper on the lug holes,
or any balancing issues?
   I have access to a drill press, torches, metal lathe, and1/4 inch
flat stock steel.  Can I make some spacers with those tools?  What
is the O.D. and hub hole I.D.?  How long have you been running
these  spacers, and have you had any stability/wobbling problems?
That's all of the questions I can think of for now....
