Wheels should be a direct fit using all standard spacers if they were ordered for your particular ride & year model.

I had the same issues as it looks like you are though, the wrong hubs were on my wheels, only 2 things to do, either send them back to get corrected or have new spacers machined up to make them fit!
I went with new spacers machined up, due to an helpful Indy shop & a un-helpful wheel manufacturer.

They look good in place though, what size wheels are they?

You can order a long spacer on eBay and cut it to size. They come in 5 inch bars from quite a few vendors.

Wheels ordered should come properly configured. What brand of wheels did you get? Where did you get them from?

Are your spacers too wide or too short?
