Wheel spacers...

Hey,
Got some wheels (finally) but they are a lil bit to close to the strut... Like touching. 
I was just hoping that somebody on here would be willing to mill up a set for me, with center hubs to hold the new wheels properly, instead of resting on the studs. Would be willing to pay/barter/trade services. I'll happily do all the measuring, drawing, calculating, etc.
Oh, and I'm located in Bayswater, so the closer the better.

What sort of car, and what sort of wheel? I'm not exactly big on spacers though...

Yeah, well neither am I... But doesn't look like I've got any other option.
Unless the XT130/RT132 struts have more offset, any body know? I got some Silvia rims and tyres, with 195/55's on them. The offset is just a little bit to much for the KE55 struts, the tyre is pressed up against the strut when done up. But a 10mm gap fixes the problem fine.
I'm buying some wheel spacers on Monday, when they come in, but I don't REALLY want to use them. I'd prefer to have the hub rings and spacers all in one, assumedly it would make it a lot more stabler/safer.. Plus I was going to use some long/deep thread nuts, to go right through the spacer plate, hopefully helping to keep things all together even better.

Just found a small bit of information;
Corolla KE55 disc brake thickness - 30mm
Corona XT130 brake thickness - 42mm
Peugeot 604 brake thickness - 43mm
So, assuming that most of that depth is not going to go somewhere else (anybody know??), I MIGHT NOT need a spacer.. Shall find out soon.

), started to rain. But the wheel/tyre fits on fine, with about 5mm space between them.
