I appreciate the comments on using washers. I got really disgusted at the problem last week and almost used washers. I bought 3/8" washers at the hardware store, got them home only to realize that M12 is just slightly bigger than 3/8" so they didn't fit and I didn't have time to go back to the hardware store before it closed. Maybe I'll just run back out there and buy M12 washers (they're only .30 cents each). I really don't fear the rotor flexing - in fact, I hadn't even thought about that being a problem (and still really don't consider it a problem). My only fear was snapping the lug bolts off due to not having the wheel flange flat against the rotor. Maybe I'll do the washers for now, buy the 1/16" spacers and install them in week or two. I sure won't be drag racing or otherwise anytime soon.
Thanks for all the input. I'm off to the hardware store.
