Wheel Spacers On The Cheap
I used a set that looked exactly like this on my '88 Blazer back in the day. To counter-act the hub centric issue I used a small piece of card board on the top-most stud. It was just big enough to make the studs fit in the center of the holes. After I torqued the wheel on it never moved. I ran them for about 2 years with zero issues.
Let me make this clearer: I would rotate the hub so one of the studs was top dead center. I had just a small chunk of card board. I would set it directly on top of the stud (not around it) to lift the whole adapter up slightly. It took some trial and error to get the size right. Before this I was putting the lug nuts on hand tight and holding it centered as best I could (my wheels were very open spokes) and then torquing them the rest of the way.
