was that printing a misprint or ???? if indeed the center is 2.750, i don't believe that wheel will fit.
being in the junkyard business in the early 70's, it became quickly obvious that ford wheels had a smaller center register than mopar wheels, even though the bolt pattern was the same.
if i'm not mistaken, the ford register was 2.740 - 2.750 on the hub, and the wheels were 2.755 - 2.765. [or close to those dimensions]

I know for a fact that earlier ford's ( 60's) had a smaller hub register as i bought a set of Chrome wheels on close out back in 1972 or so at J C Penneys. The hub hole was too small for my 64 Polara. So i had a local machine shop hog them out. Shortly thereafter I found that the lip they had to remove was critical to the strength of the wheel center as they began splitting between the lug holes and center frown beer
