4 inches. 2 inch spacer adapters work perfect.

You bolt aluminum wheels to steel so bolting steel wheels to aluminum would essentially be the same thing. I bought mine a few years ago, just buy from a reputable company.

Center bore of what? Do you mean te hole in the middle of the wheel spacer? You wouldn't want hub centric so I wouldn't worry about it.
