My rear spacers/adapters for my winter wheels arrived today. Won't be able to use them until the winter, but thought I would post a couple pics. I needed 40 mm spacers for the rear with my square winter set up, as even with a 25 mm spacer the rears wheels looked too tucked for me as they are only 10" wheels with a 35 offset. No one makes a spacer for us larger than 30 mm. I had them custom made to be hubcentric to my 72.56mm M rear hubs and also hubcentric to my wheels, which are 74.1mm all the way around so I can rotate the wheels. No more rings required now!

I ordered the spacers from Motorsport tech custom milled for my specs, and also had them anodize the spacers black to match my black winter wheels. I didn't like the look of the silver spacers against my black wheels, and it would have only been worse with the increased size of these 40 mm spacers. Anondized black, they should really look nice against the winter wheels. Here are a couple pictures of the spacers. I am really happy with the outcome!

Customer service from Motorsport tech was excellent. Production time was about two weeks. Received a shipping notice with tracking number when they went out. The website isn't the greatest, so I recommend you call and speak to Lenny, the owner. He is the one that answers the phones. He will make sure he knows exactly what you are trying to do, and whether it is feasible. Great vendor!
