Identify this wheel?

The inner space ensures that there isn't undue lateral pressure put on the bearing when things are tightened down. Don't damage it.

it has nearly no give to it at all it turns and widdles from one side of the wheel to the other but even that is being restricted by friction by the feel of things.

There should be no slop in the spacer along the axis of the axle (if there is then I think your bearing may be partway out already). There should be enough space at at least one end to move it slightly off-axis and expose the inner lip of the bearing. If it doesn't go easy then try a little gentle persuasion with a hammer on your drift/lever.

What's the point if you're not going to be able to fit the speedo rotor in anyway?
