Billet Speciality centre cap fitment issue - 07/19/09 08:24 PM

got a set of the street lites and the centre caps wont fit over stock 73A-body disc hubs.

i am thinking about getting them turned down but BS no matter how you slice it.

Hmmm, I have Wilwoods up front so no problem but I wasn't aware that they won't clear stock discs.

This issue is not that uncommon. I have the same rims on my T-Type and had to reshape the dust caps to fit.

I am running them on my 68 Charger with drum brakes and had to get a BFH and adjust the dust cap. Fits great now.

we ran into the same deal on brother in laws dart.i chucked the hub in the lathe and turned 60 thou.of the dia.out where the dust cap goes.we told billet specialties about it a year ago.it was the o.d. of the hub that causes the interference.but i understand what you`re sayin.shouldn`t have to f with em period,especially after the have been told about this problem

I thought about going with those wheels as well. Do any of you guys have any pics on the car? Are they any lighter than the weld draglites?
