I don't know if you've ordered new ones yet, but there looks like there's enough meat on there to take off the 1.6mm diameter. You're only taking 0.8mm of material off and there looks to be at least 2mm of material there.

I had to get my spacers hogged out a little for my rear axle and it cost me $50 at a machine shop. I feel a little more comfortable with the inner part of the hub ring being solidly against the outside of the axle, but my front end is still 3600lbs without that and it has been fine.

From what i understand, there really shouldn't be any weight carried on the hub ring anyways, it's just to center the wheel, while the clamping force of the lug nuts carries the weight of the vehicle. I see a lot of used spacers for sale off 9000lb brotrucks with no lip.

I know this is a lot of "my wheels ain't fell off yet", but i've got a 3600lb front end, drive like an idiot, on ebay spacers, with flat washer style lugnuts. Like you i needed them to correct the difference between new vs old offset so the wheels don't stick out any further and stress anything more.
