Im postin this a lil behind schedule haha but last week my bro dad and i finally found out why my wheels (15x7s that were causing probs) wouldnt go on all the way --- on the plate that holds the wheel studs, the bump where the center hole of the wheel goes, there is an extra lip that is preventing my wheel to go on all the way by 1/2"!!!!! This means i have to machine out the center hole of the wheel by 1/8" or so -- Anyone have any idea/recommendation of a place where I could get those done and get it done CHEAPLY yet professionally????? thanks, have a good one (Steve, no need for longer studs! )------------------ Dan - and yes, I am still called "Dan Dan The Chevy Man" to this day! haha 1965 Coupe "BeeBop" Straight "6" 3-spd manual w/Hurst Shift https://mustangsandmore.com//ubb/TheIceman.html

Nope, nobody Richard's right. Are these steel wheels or aluminum. If they are stell it will be a difficult job but aluminum should be pretty simple, in fact you might be able to do it on a brake rotor lathe.
