Where to buy TII wheel spacers? (need huge 2" spacer)

Hey guys,
I have TII brakes on my FB, and I need to huge spacers in order to reduce the lip of my front rims. I am wondering if you guys know of anywhere that sells such a large spacer?

Thanks

that might be something you have to have custom machined

however i dont think running such a large spacer is safe

hmmmm, I may have to go with a 1" spacer than. The problem is without a spacer my front rims are going to have about a 5" lip, which would look a little goofy imo.

you don't understand, im running a 10" rim up front, with a 4.5" back spacing which equals about a 4.5-5" lip. Since I feel that such a large front lip would look goofy im going to reduce it with a spacer. The rims im ordering are custom, so getting the right offset is no big deal, I just don't want such a goofy look.

you can find them anywhere, just make sure you get the right hub bore.

I just sold the pair of 38mm spacers I had for 100$
