most people use a crappy/used bearing and grind down the ID of the bearing so it just slips on so they can test with it.
or you can get a setup like this which relocates the shim to the other side.

that's what I have for my street wheels
but their +35s... with 315s on them lol.
I'm running 30mm spacers on front and 20mm on the back and it's pretty close... (because of the tires)
why did you swap? I thought your old wheels were decently big 15s? 15s and 16s are a good slick size... 17 I didn't think was. (I could be wrong). do they make a 23-24" slick for a 17?

I have 15x10 steelies.
These are a little lighter and with the 5.14 gears I don't need a 22.6" diameter tire. I can get 275/35-17 A7s, which are 24.6"
These also clear the brake calipers much better around the basket area and I got the full set with tires - that will be given away - for $400

Freezer is full of wheel bearings as a contingency plan for a "While I'm in there" situation while installing my new ARP extended wheel studs. (Thanks J-Auto)
Spacers got dropped off at the machine shop to get a little tuneup to fit more nicely.
Meanwhile, I need to get off my *** and get the shop to finish up my rear diff, because my driveshaft FINALLY shipped yesterday. Apparently it takes more than a month to manufacture a carbon fiber driveshaft.

She's not rusty - never seen winter - but 30 years of aluminum oxidation would take forever to polish out. Much easier to give it a good clean and a shot of paint to protect.
Meanwhile -
I know when that driveshaft bling. That can only mean one thing.
Re-doing the fuel system while the rear suspension is all out. Much easier to access. Switching from braided -6 to lightweight aeroquip 8
