I spent the evening (with several mechanic friends) putting on the Baer M2300 Killer kit, 13" rotors up front, 12" out back. I also purchased real Ford Racing Bullitt wheels 17". Here is the problem. The front wheels don't fit!! They don't seat on to the hubs far enough to mount flush. The wheels inside centers go to a taper at too shallow a depth. BTW, I went with the modified Fox spindles, not the SN95 ones, as Baer recommended. What the F should I do? Machine the insides of the rim? Install shallow wheel spacers 1/8" or even 1/4" (!)? And of course, the running horse caps don't fit on the front either, not clearing the dust caps. This really sucks, I'm in the hole for $3k plus, and don't have a driveable car! Please help, any advice would be greatly appreciated. :(
