Spacer Issues

Just thought i would pop this one out there.
Im about to do a rear brake upgrade to discs, and the wheels i have dont sit on the centering ring, and so are lug centric. Im pretty sure im going to have to put a spacer between the disc and the axle hub in order to get it to line up with the caliper.
What do people think of the dodgyness of this? if i get it such that the wheel is hubcentric again, and im using longer studs i cant see much of a problem. The only issue i can see is that the extra 20mm of track width at each side, also pushes the wheel a further 20mm from the wheel bearing, and i could have issues there, not that the T series dont already have wheel bearing issues
Anyway, what do you guys think?

Just get a machine shop to turn up a 'donut' to get back to hub centric. I did that to get from 71 to 68mm.

Sure, i can do that for the front. But i was more thinking about a hubcentric spacer betweeen the disc and the hub in order to push the disc out in alignment to the caliper.
