Default Wheel wont seat properly

I went to switch two of my ZR1s, put the one I had on the front in the back and vise versa. Well when I went to put the ZR1 I had on the front it wouldnt seat properly on the wheel hub. I tried the one I had on the back that I had just taken off and it seated fine on the hub with out any issues. The front ZR1 is a replacement and not apart of the original set, thus I believe its off set may very well be different, could that be the cause as to why it wont seat properly?

I never ran them with the other 17 I had on there, that one fits fine, its the stupid one from the front that wont seat on the back hub.

From your sig, I see you have a 93 TA, the hub of the rear axle on the older TA's were bigger. Why? I dunno. Take a die grinder to the center of the wheel and enlarge the hub a little till it fits. Or vice vresa, take some meat of the axle hub.

Yea, I have heard of that before, I ended up putting it back the way it was before. Usally when the hub is an issue, its getting the wheel off more so than getting it on.

I had the same problem with my 93 when I put my SS 10-spokes on. Just take a dremel to the inner lip of the wheel and test fit frequently. It doesnt take much.
