My solution on a Subaru is similar to Rob's: I needed to come back 2 1/4", so used 1 7/8" long x 1/2" dia spacers with 6 ea #10-32 flathead screws. Screws are 144ksi min tensile strengh, fully threaded into 3/8" thick 6061 T6 aluminum, bolted to Summit QD with 3ea 1/4-20 hex cap screws. Looks kinda spindly, but using the root dia of the 10-32 screws works out to 2859#, each of 6. Looks to me that most of the loading will get translated to tension by leverage on the spacers. If the driver can put 50# of force on the wheel, and the lever ratio is approx the radius of the wheel/radius of the spacers, or about 27x, or 1377#. Sound reasonable?
