107 hub centric adapters

Hello, I figured there would be many posts on this but I'm not finding any answers. I have an 82 380SL. I also have a beautiful set of Ronals that I want to use on it. The Ronals (and several other wheels I have) fit the car fine but the offset is such that the center caps will not go on the front wheels. I bought 15mm spacers and that looked great but like everyone else, I got the high speed wobble. My question is, can you put and does someone make a hub centric adapter for these cars with tapered hubs? I'd love to use my Ronals! Thanks.

I may be able to help you with this; two questions:
1) What is the size and ET of the wheels you would like to use?
2) What is the distance from the bottom of the spherical bolt socket to the hub face? This question relates to the required bolt length.
