Making a smaller hub bore work

Picked up some wheels & 2 of them are 64mm center bore

Anyone have experience with this? Options seem to be:

Having the wheels milled out
Using a spacer to clear the hub & run as lug-centric
Have custom spacers made that will clear the hub & then taper down to the smaller bore

I will be sure to post some pictures once I get them mounted

Ended up going with the Project Kics 10mm spacers & running lug-centric. I needed a tad bit of clearance for the strut. Seems to be good so far, no balance issue & holding torque. Wheels torqued in the air with a cross pattern & then double checking in a circular pattern.
