Default Wheel Spacer

Curious to know if anyone on the board has every used a machined washer on each lug nut to space the wheel away for big break kits.

Would this be frowned upon or a no no. Only reason I ask is the spacers they sell are really to thick for what I am trying to achieve. I need roughly 2.5 mm.

Love to know what the board thinks about this approach.

The rims I have are centered through the lugs.

if you only need 3mm or so, why not use the spacers that slip on like individual washers, but go over all the lugs,

and then use tapered lug nuts, i have to do that for my summer rims cause the offset is screwed up

Where do you get these spacers because I think this is what I am talking about and I already have the tapered lug nuts.
