Hello. Does anyone know where I can get the above, please I have searched all over Google and most are either bigger or have the wrong centres I bought some universal ones but the id was wrong. The wheel weights are fouling on the track rod end so only needs a smidgen more clearance. Cheers .

Some thoughts Sean65.
Are the wheel weights the sort that clip to the wheel edge? If yes, remove them and check if that solves the problem. If yes, rebalance with adhesive weights fitted to c/line of wheel.

If no then would you be happy with the loss of 5mm from wheel studs? If yes can you get the universal spacers machined to fit? If no try local machine shop to make you a pair.

Thanks Roger. That was where I was thinking of going with spacers as they are not especially expensive if only I could find some. 5mm and still just about enough thread. I was pondering 5 mm washers as a temp but that would limit contact patch although the wheels are steel so doubt they will flex.

Please please please, don't use washers. You must have wheel to hub contact for safe operation.

I'm confused about how the wheel weights are contacting the track rod end, are the wheels the standard Jimny ones or something after market?

Don’t worry Roger. They would only be to gauge the clearance distance whilst rotating the wheel on the jack.
I had assumed they were standard wheels but maybe not.
