You may just need a wheel spacer, or at least you will have some idea how much different offset you need.

Avoid the temptation to drive with the washers in there.
In the stuff the previous owner had in a box were two wheel spacers of about 1/4 inch thickness. I did try those, but given the construction of the inner wheel, they forced the wheel to be pushed out nearly 1/2 inch and as a result the lug bolts were too short to even get one thread of the lug nuts on.

I will try washers tomorrow to see if that makes a difference. Thats a good plan, thanks.
