SS wheels on LT1
SS wheels on LT1 anyone here had trouble putting on SS wheels on the rear of an LT1?
tried it today and the wheels would not go in all the way in the rear, had to work the lug nuts slowly to back the wheel to the right rear rotor. The left rear just did not want to go in, broke 2 wheel studs and stripped two lug nuts, on putting on and the other taking off. One is still stuck, lost daylight, so I'll tackle it tomorrow after work (yes I put a jack stand on the frame so that the right rear does not rest on the wheel overnight).
I have an old set of rotors with the wheel studs, was thinking of re-using but since they are not expensive, I'll just replace them with new ones.
anyone here run into this trouble before?

the rear right is flat against the rotor, its the left side that's a problem. I have a dremel to grind the hub just enough to get the wheels on. Hell no, I won't drive if the wheel is not flat against the hub, it will wobble and something will break and I'll spill my drink!!
I also have a V6 firebird and tried the wheels on it, they fit fine. Its just the rear hubs on my LT1 that they don't as they should.

there is a little lip or "burr" in the ID of the hub hole. you have to shave that off in order for it to work. it isnt a big deal a little file should do it. i had to use one on mine.
