Purpose of it, to keep tire treads lined up. First and last time I saw that. Immediately bought an aluminum and switched it out.But such a “ spacer” does exist.Usually, You can put an inner steel, and an outer aluminum w/o changing studs.2 aluminums- new longer studs. On a trailer, It’s not much more to buy a new hub, with longer studs. Especially if you’re paying labor rates for the job. Doing yourself, sometimes you can knock old ones right out with a sledge, and buzz new ones in place using gun on spacer/ sleeve/ nut. If you’re lucky, still at $8  or so ea. It adds up.[/QUOTE]
