G35 wheel spacers won't fit. Please help me find some that do. So frustrating
So for a long time I've been looking for spacers that actually fit my wheels and have been unsuccessful. Not sure why every wheel spacer I try is too small but they are. So i'm trying to find some that actually fit.
As pictured below you can see these 15mm spacers are too small in the outer diameter. The rims "hub portion" for lack of a better term sticks out past the spacer and rotor making it look retarded and possibly weakening the rim.

In order for them to be flush they would need an outside diameter of about 6"
The ones pictured are about 5 5/8"
Does anyone know of spacers that actually fit flush with the rotor/wheel?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Also have to mention I don't want bolt on spacers.... slip on only since I already have ARP extended wheel studs.

The spacers pictured ARE HUBCENTRIC (66.1). The problem is the outside diameter is too small making them look retarded on the car. The rotor and the wheel stick out. The wheel has voids in between the lugs as well as a "lip" on the outside that should be sitting flat against the spacers. This will weaken the wheel if it's not sitting flush all around.
ALSO as I have mentioned I already have extended studs so the bolt on spacers do me no good. SLIP ON ONLY
I had a pair of 10mm slip on spacers that fit perfectly (so I know they're out there) but I sold them a while back and don't remember the name of them.
So does anyone know of slip on spacers that are 6" across instead of 5 5/8' like the ones that are pictured above?
Parker6 - does your spacer sit flush with your wheel in the horizontal direction? Or is it recessed like the spacers I have pictured above? Are they slip-on?

I don't think you will find any with a specifed diameter. All the spacers I've seen are either larger or smaller in diameter. Have you checked different vendors to see what they offer?? Ichiba, H&R, Kics are a couple of brands I can think of. CZP has their own so they may be able to do a custom set for you.
So the option would be to get larger diameter ones and have them machined to your specific dimensions, get custom spacers made, nor not worry about it as long as they fit.

Your only option might be to get custom spacers machined for your needs if you're looking to get them to match the wheel backpad.

I found out Powered By Max makes them in bolt on style.... they are hubcentric though so you can knock the studs out and just use them as slip ons.
Can't figure out why more companies don't make them with a larger diameter to match the 5x114 wheel. I found 6" across is the norm for 5x114. It offers better stability/less stress on the wheel (for track) and doesn't look nearly as bad yet PBM is the only company (yes, I've searched every other wheel spacer out there... they are all too small) that I know of that makes them this size.
