Wheel help
Bought some BOSS wheels today (got a great deal) but noe have an issue with the hub. The wheel fits fine with the dust cap but there is not enough room for the center cap to go into the wheel. Any suggestions? 1st thought was to try a 1/4" spacer behind the wheel to see if it's enough, 2nd thought was to have the hub machined down a bit. I just did drop spindles and disc brake swap with CPP rotors (6 lug)

Re: Wheel help
Tested the 1/4" spacer and it helps but not a complete fix. Looks like I'm going to have to machine down the outer portion of the rotor hub. I think if I machine off 1/8" I'll be good to go.

Re: Wheel help
Seems to be a big issue with modern 6 lug wheels. I've been searching and searching but can't seem to find the "perfect" wheel with the 4.25" center bore that our trucks need. Most people go with the machining route to fix.

Re: Wheel help
I think the other issue is that it is a heavy duty design for the rotor and hub so it is larger than the standard 5 lug hub. When I get the hub machined I'll post a write up of what I did to, of course if everything works out.
