Also, your measurements are wrong. Should be 114.3mm shouldn't it?

Correct, should be 114.3 - must have hit the wrong key in UG. I'm not really too afraid of deforming the aluminum - it is under compression after all. What are you torquing your lug nuts to anyway? I've some some aluminum lugs torqued to 70 ft-lbs right now (per Enkei's suggestion). My concern with steel is corrosion due to different mating materials.

Plans are changed a little - I'm going to try to get them to make a spacer + hug ring for the rear (10mm spacer + 59.6 to 76 mm hub ring for the Enkei's). I got a different idea for the front now... Ebay sells "hubcentric" rings in a number of sizes from 5-25 mm for $60-$120. I'm curious what the shop comes back with price wise.

Either way, the original plan was for something thin so if anyone is still interested I can correct the drawing above and still inquire.

FWIW, what does having Enkei's have to do with not necessitating hub rings?
