With the help of this forum and a rubber mallet I can now say...

I mounted spacers for my winter tire set and it looks awesome! LOL

Thanks for the good deal on the spacers M.J. and thanks again for the help guys!

That sounds like it would have worked also - I'll remember that one if there's a next time. Good tip.

I used some anti-seize on the mating surfaces putting everything back together, so hopefully there isn't a next time.

That looks great!
Let me know if you're ever out to the islands and I'll show you and the family around.

^Thanks for your very kind offer! We've never been to Hawaii but hope to make it there someday. We have family who vacation there every winter - I think they may be on to something :)

On one of my crap cars I had one wheel that was stuck on there so good that I literally had to kick the crap out of it as hard as I could to the point that it hurt my foot, not good for the wheel bearing but I had already sprayed it down with rust penetrator overnight. Plain alloy wheel against steel hub leads to galvanic corrosion, I made sure I used anti-seize the next time. The wheel had only been on there for 6 months!
