A bell has just rung and I now remember that you asked for some dimensions in this area from my Dymag wheels.
Sorry, it slipped my mind .. been desperately busy with my own rebuild.
I'll have a think, measure up where necessary and get back to you.
And/or I have scoured my old emails and managed to track down my communications with HPS when I bought my wheels, and these include many dimensions that I measured on my existing wheels as well as production drawings from Dymag.
If you would like me to forward those, pm me your email address.

On the shear stress thing, the bolts should not experience any shear load unless they loosen off.
When fully tightened they are in tension, which in turn exerts a clamping force which lock the two components together such that they behave as one solid component.
As long as the bolts are capable of withstanding the tensile force necessary to exert the appropriate clamping force, there will be no shear load on them.

That said, I haven't yet quite got my head round exactly why the extra disc offset is required .. but I will presumably understand better once I do some measurements.
