What it is, is the inside hole on the newer rims have a dual lip, I measured the outside lip rather than the inside smaller lip. I tried rotating and it's definately off a bit. Same with the fronts. It has to be 3 5/8's to allow the slight bit of wiggle room that they're supposed to have. I was afraid if I did spacers the studs would be too short. They would have to be at least 1/2 inch or more I think. I'm running stock drums all around. Hopefully machining the aluminum will be simple and cheap. There's plenty of lip to machine so no worries there.
