I looked at some 58->55 step down rings on ebay and also 4 different 
brands at B&H.  They all look the same except for the very expensive 
Heliopan... which has an even worse thickness problem than the others.

I suspect you're going to have to find a friend with a lathe and shave 
some of that thickness off.
