Well I didnt know you were talking about a 3 piece wheel.
I have never seen a spacer used where you are talking about, but I imagine it would work. Just make sure you get longer bolts.

I guess you've answered the question, without understanding it.
But ok, I'll spell it out... (I thought a wheel guy would get this easy)

This guy 'sells rims' i dont really think he fits/works/gets dirty.
OR
It could be due to the fact he never said he was talking about a 3 piece wheel.
OR
The fact that it isnt common/I have never heard of anyone doing a spacer where he is talking about.
Being a "wheel guy" the bottom line is wheels are not designed to have a spacer there. I would never recommend doing this. It hasnt been tested and wheel safety is not somehting I would mess around with. I have installed/sold/taken apart plenty of wheels and not once have i heard someone doing this.
It's usually done by using different inner and outer rims... but these wheels are expensive custom wheels and the rims are almost as expensive as the wheels in entirety.
Many 3 piece wheels actually use an alloy "shim" with a seal fitted both sides, an O ring... All I need is for a similar shim type thing to be about 20mm think....
but I've never seen it done before either, so thought I'd ask someone with more wheel experience than me.
It's not a Ferrari, and the wheels are "WORK" wheels.... Japanese I think... nice but too expensive at any time, never mind when buying from a shark!
Anyway.. I passed him on to my two different wheel gurus I use.... No point me trying too hard.
I'd much rather stay home and go broke! No point working at it :tilt:
