Try this part (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4081a). I seem to remember
someone using it for a 1/10 stud offset in a 2-wide train car. There are 2
versions of this part, and I think the difference is in the thickness of the
center ring, which would affect how it would be used.

I checked these out last night.  The new version, with the thin center ring,
results in a flush surface.  That is, the center ring is 1/2 plate thick, so
that a tile on either side ends up flush with the 1x1 plate.

The old ones, however, have a center ring that is the same thickness as a
plate.  As a result, there is still 0.75 plate thicknesses on either side of
the center ring.  Therefore, a tile attached here projects 1/4 of a plate
pastthe 1x1, or 0.1 stud!  It works!

Don't you have old and new reversed here?

Quite possibly.  It's the thicker one that works out right for the 1/10 stud
offset ...
