wheel and brake issues

[montyd]

i decided to do the 5 lug conversion. and i found a set of brake rotors that used the factory spindles and style of rotor, but are 5 lug and slotted. i have a set of saleen reproduction wheels and for some reason when i install the the rotor onto the weel(havent put it all on the car yet, and i am glad i didnt) the end of the hub on the rotor hits the inside of the wheel and wont let it all go together far enough. the end of the hub on the rotor his the lip that holds the ceter cap into the wheel. and ideas? do they make the saleen 5 spoke style wheel for that type of rotor or should i sell my brakes and do some other kind of conversion?

sounds like you need SN95 spindles....I have seen some guys cut a hole in the center of the center caps to clear the hub covers...

I would go the SN-95 route. You can the spindles pretty cheap anyway.
