20" oem wheels on a 96 2wd.

[my96]

Bought a set of 20" oem wheels and they only bolt up to my rear axle. the center hub on the front is larger than the center hole in the wheel. The wheel slides on almost all the way and then it hits a larger dia. lip on the wheel hub. It looks like if i add like a 3/8" spacer plate, the wheel will bolt up flat against the flange. i was wondering if a spacer plate is all i need. i picked up all 4 wheels and tires for $325 and they have plenty of tread left.

Use a spacer or have the hole in the rim machined out so it fits ( think I have seen this done).

Thanks merc, Thats the direction i am going right now.
Does anyone have any personal experience. I know a 1/2" spacer is probably gonna be my next step. e-bay has em for around $30 for all 4 shipped. I guess i should add some longer wheel studs and long lug nuts. It looks like it may cost around a hundred or so to get 'em bolted up.

I would do the longer wheel studs if possible and the lug nutz to match the new rims. Something tells me they take a diff wheel nut than the wheels you have on now. One of the other guys should know more about this swap than I do.
