Default Chevy wheels on Rodeo

I have a set of chrome truck wheels that would look decent on my parent's Rodeo. Problem is the wheels have a 3 inch center and apparently Rodeos are 4. I checked the Googler but I couldn't find any adapters that address this. Anyone know of any? Could I just use a thin spacer to push the wheel past the hub and not worry about it?

That can be countered by putting three nuts instead of the four.

The lip helps locate the rim and distributes the weight to the axle and bearings instead of solely on the wheel studs

Find adapters
