I purchased a set of "Ford" Magnum 500 wheels to install on my '67 Satellite and they don't fit the hub. Correct bolt pattern but the axle hubs are too large diameter to fit the rims. What do I do?

Some Ford rims have a smaller register.You can open the hole up so they fit.Thats the easiest and safest way.Im not a fan of spacers.Rocky

Topside, thanks for responding. I won't use spacers but thanks for the input. If this turns into a nightmare, I'll sell the rims off and save my penny's for some alloy wheels instead. Too many early B-Body's with Magnum 500's anyway! I would be happy with a style similar to the Torque Thrusts.

I feel like I'm loosing my mind! This issue bothered me so much that I re-reviewed what the hell was going on and found 2 rims fit perfectly and 2 don't. The first one I grabbed didn't fit so I expected all 4 to be the same trouble. It seems that there is some fitment issues, I don't know if forcing them on would be a good idea, they can't be too far off. I will take pictures of both up close. Maybe relieving the rim would be a better idea than both the hubs and rims.
