Custom wheel spacers

[BenG]

Wondering where I could get some custom wheel spacers made. I need to get spacers that are 5-8mm thick, BUT i need them custom made because I want to have a hubcentric ring on the spacers for my wheels to sit on. Basically, this is what I want: 5-8mm (ideally 6mm) spacer that is hubcentric to my 60.1 hub with its own hub extending from it (the spacer's hub side doesn't matter, but if it were centric to my wheel's bore size (73 mm) that would be perfect.

Any one here know where I can get it done and how much it would cost?

H&R has something that looks like a 10mm Toyota specific spacer that has a hub ring, but I don't know if I can put 10mm on the rear of my Camry without fender clearance issues. Has anyone every put 17x7.5 wheels with an offset of +37 on their Camry before?

These wheels are getting more problematic by the minute...but well worth it if I can get them on my car!

no one knows anything about custom machined aluminium parts? I'm talking to this place in Cali, www.wheeladapters.com , and was wondering if anyone here has dealt with them before. Also, if you know where I can get some custom CNC machining done in TO, that would be wikked too.

Wait! If your wheels are +37 mm, then spacers will make them rub even worse! You need spacers to DECREASE positive offset, e.g. use 10 mm spacer to go from +50 offsett to +40 mm. If you put a 10 mm on a +37 your wheels will stick-out too much...

Are you sure H&R makes a hub-centric 10 mm spacer? I bought the 5mm from them and it is not hub centric. Their picture on the site was deceiving... The hub ring on the drum/disks sticks out too much to allow the spacer to have its own ring - I doubt the 10 mm will be much different. 15 mm - may be, but then you go way out and it costs too much $$$ from H&R...

The wheels are +47 offset, and I thought that would cause the tires to rub the strut assembly. Apparently this isn't the case and as long as the tire sidewalls are completely vertical and flush with the wheel (i'm on kumho 712s in a 225/45/17) there isn't a rubbing problem (Something like 2-3mm clearance between the strut tube and the tire, and like 3-4m clearance between the fender and the tire.)

I was damn lucky this time.

And you're right about the HR spacer...they don't come with a hub ring extension until you hit 15mm. 5 and 10mm spacers are hubcentric meaning that they sit on the Toyota hub snugly, but do not have an extension.
