Rims too big


I have Zenetti 20" - they fit perfect on the back of my '07, but rub the front. I want to get them machined so they will fit, but I don't know the outside dimensions of the front wheel hub - does anyone have any suggestions???confused.gif

I dont know about machining the rims but try smaller series tires first. I know that you can fit 22"s no problem on 05-08's. I have 245/35/20s on my 95 with no problems.

Thank you for your advice. By the way, sweet ride!
The outside hubs on the front are a differnt size than the rears - the rears fit perfect. So even if I change the tire, the front outside hub will still not work. I called ford, they "say" that the outside hub dimensions are only know by the ford engineers so they can't tell me. They also said that all for vehicles are built to have different outside hub sizes on the back annd the front. I've never seen anyone have this problem before now!

I actually have to have the front rims machined to match up for the hub, spacers won't work - does anyone have any suggestions for a good machine shop in the Metrowest area??

That seems like it would be a bitch and probably be expensive. I havent heard many good things about zenetti wheels. Youd probably be better off to sell those wheels and get some that are actually made for your car and fit right.
