Now that I've had time to think about it...

I got my wheels back, used washers around each of the lugs, and kept adding them till I got enough clearance when the wheel was torqued down to freely spin all the way around with no rubbing against the caliper. Measured this amount, and come to the conclusion that I need 3mm spacers for each wheel. I found 3mm 4/5 universal lug spacers on Pepboy's website. 3mm should be thin enough that I don't need the expensive custom hubcentric spacers so that the wheels center when bolted up. As always, make sure you have at least 6 threads of the lug when your wheel is bolted up (tighten down 4 out of the 5 lugnuts, then count how many threads you get w/ the last lugnut). If you don't have at least 6 threads, replace the lugs w/ longer lugs.
