Hey I got a set of aluminum vette wheels for my Camaro. The fronts fit fine but the rears don't quite make it. A little too small. I know alot of guys use these on Camaros what is the best idea to get them to fit? They"ll be on a race car so I don't want to mess up the weight and balance. The center of the hub that goes into the hole in the rims is too big.
thanks Lee

take a carbide bit in an air powered die grinder and open the center hole in the wheel up a small amount. Do all 4 wheels. No real risk of causing any issues.

I did the opposite and ground off ~1/16" from the rear axle hubs. Used my handy Harbour Freight $10 die grinder and $4 grinding stones.

Wheel is now lug-centric instead of hub centric.

I use a 2" drum sander on a cordless drill - just takes a few passes around the ID of the hole in the wheel.

Thanks guys, that's what I thought just wanted a second opinion before I messed up my wheels.
