This worked out fine. The only problem was that I didn't notice that on the left side of the wheel there is over 2 inches of material to drill through as opposed to the right side where there is only about 1/4". I got through the right side fairly quickly with the step drill, but the left side was rather labor intensive drilling all those steps through that much material. In the end, the wheel fit just right using the spacers from the 08 wheel and the washer behind the left bearing. Thanks again multihdrdr for sharing your knowledge with me!
