I bought 91 Ranger rotors and used 17" Ford Torque Thrust wheels(17x8.0JX x 45MM). Nose of rotor is too long and pushes out wheel center cap. Any ideas? Wheel spacers? Different rotors?

I talked to Tony at Stainless Steel Brakes. He was very helpful and suggested using 84-86 S.V.O. rotors. I ordered them locally. Bearings are the same as my 89 5.0 ragtop but it uses a different grease seal. I hope that the seal won't be an issue.I'll know tomorrow. Thanks Tony.
 
I cant recall the SVO Rotors but I have a feeling they still have the snout on them and I highly doubt you will be able to use the center caps on the front wheels.
 
It would be same issue as ranger rotors. The snout on those rotors protrudes too far. Only difference between the two is that ranger rotors are 10" and SVO are 10.9". Same snout clearance issue.
