Boss 338 wheel fit issues?

As anyone has issues with the Boss 338 wheels fitting over the front hubs on a 1972 C10?

Yes.
You will need to grind the HUB of the front rotors to clear the inside bore of the wheel.
Takes about 5 minutes per side with a flap wheel on a grinder.

Yes.
Have you seen the GIANT Boss 338 thread that started in 2009?

Look on the last few pages for rotor grinding info.

I took one less step. Get a 1/4 inch spacer and new lug nuts. In fact it looks better because it pushes the wheel out more. (I even added 1/4 spacer in the rear)

That won't work for me.
I don't want them pushed out any more.

That's where everyone is different.
