Brake Rotor Spacer Limit?

[96flhpi]

Hey all, been a while since I posted here.  I'm trying to fit (from what I can gather) an OEM EVO Heritage front wheel onto my '82 FLH.  Got the axle spacers figured out but the brake rotor would need a 7/32"-1/4" spacer behind it, which would move the rotor far past the edge of the flange's center lip.  Just wanted to make sure doing that is safe.  Is there a limit to how far a rotor can be spaced before it becomes an issue?  Sorry Google offers no answers except where to buy spacers/brake rotors.

Pics show protrusion of just spacer and spacer and rotor - ignore the mangled seal, it'll be getting new bearings and races when the tire is mounted. 

IDK why, but it just feels unsafe to me, but I also don't know what I'm doing.  Thanks as always!!

Not a good idea as the rotor can shift, broken bolts could ruin your day.

From what I can see, the rotor inner ID is larger than the hub flange, so get a spacer machined the thickness you need with a flange to fit the rotor.

I'd have a custom steel spacer made. With the thickness you need to space away from the wheel, and also an extruded flange to fit snug over the wheel's existing flange and fitting the rotor snug to the new spacer.

Thanks to the mod for moving this to the correct forum and thanks for replies - so my gut feeling about being out past the lip was correct I guess.  The rotor actually fits fine (it's the spacer that has a wider ID) but the fact that the rotor would be nowhere near the lip makes that irrelevant. 

Can anyone recommend someplace to have a spacer made?  Now I need to decide to go that route or to lace the rim to a spare hub I have.

Thanks again for the info
