With wheels on or using hub stands?

If the former, take a look at the "nascar adapter" from Intercomp: http://www.intercomp-racing.com/Prod...DAPTER_808.cfm

This will work fine for the fronts but not the rears (the axle nut will get in the way of a flush mount.)

If you use hub stands, the lip of the hub (part that the hole in the wheel or hub stand goes over) will protrude slightly and this works fine for the regular magnetic adapter: http://www.intercomp-racing.com/Prod...DAPTER_740.cfm

I have a problem where I need to use 1/4" spacers under my hub stands to clear the fasteners on my two piece rotors... so the hub lip does NOT protrude far enough for the magnet to attach to. Current plan is something like this but in 5 x 4.75" pattern: http://www.intercomp-racing.com/Prod..._COVER_828.cfm

Just put a properly sized 2x4 on the rim and press the gauge against that.
