Default ZR1 Wheels with 5/8 Wheel Studs-PICS!

I got my new 9in. installed with 5/8 wheel studs and I wanted to keep my ZR1 wheels so instead of re-drilling the axle's for 1/2in. studs, I just re-drilled the wheel holes one size larger and then went to the "Metal Supermarket" and had them made me some metal spacer's to fit over the wheel stud's and inside the wheel. The Aluminum spacer's that come with the stud kit have to thick of a shoulder and would not seat to the wheel flange. Anyway, i got everything bolted up and went out Friday evening and the car rides like stock! Here is a couple of pics of the wheels mounted and bolted up.
I am trying my damndest to keep the car looking stock as much as possible.

The studs come with a shoulder on them. You use the spacer to cover the shoulder so you can tighten the nut down against it.
