    Hubs needed turned down.

    I just purchased my wheels for my 67 mustang.
    They are the 17" cobra R wheels in chrome.
    I noticed that the hub centers would not fit into the wheels and had to have them machined down just a bit.
    Is this normal for running ford wheels?
    Thanks for all the great info in here.

    If it isn't broken..... modify it anyway!!!!

    so you are talking about the ring inside the wheel flange??? I can't say that I am surprised. that flange is almost 3" so most mags should fit, but I could see a Ford specific wheel being less forgiving.

    Yeah,that was the area I was speaking of. 
    The machinist only had to take about a 1/4" offto get it to clear.

    Did you already have the wheel flange out of the hub, or... were they able to do it with it still in the hub?? 1/4" seams to me the ring is only 1/8" think so he had to completely remove it??
