Hi folks !!!
The car is on his wheels... I finally change all the suspension ball joints... One brake hard pipe had to be changed too but and today, I I bleeded the brake system with my Eezibleed (very fast, good product) and put the front wheels on !!! However, a problem : The rotor hubs exceed and the front wheel caps don't fit ... Does anyone have a solution for that ?

I have the same problem with my wheels. A pair of 1/4" spacers solved the problem, and I can pop my center caps on. Looks to me like you've got a little bit more of an issue then that. 3/8" spacers might solve your problem, but then you could end up with fender clearance issues.

Thanks Dave ! I will measure tomorrow if the wheels fall into the wings with a 8mm spacer... then I'd probably have to put same spacer at the rear ...
