KyleG Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I bought my first Z, a '73 240, about a month ago, in February. Ive struggled with the engine and fuel pump for a month and finally managed to get everything running. Figured id celebrate by getting some nice rims for the car. So I ordered some Rota RBRs, and got them in the mail today. I specified a 73mm hub bore when i ordered them, but the ones they shipped me have a 67.1 mm bore and wont fit on the front properly. I was wondering if anyone had experienced a problem like this or had any good ideas on a fix. I was thinking of using a spacer with the proper bore to push the rim out slightly to where the wheel hub's taper would make the diameter < 67. Alternatively it was suggested to me to just sand the rim/wheel hub down by 6mm, but i don't think I'd be able to get them perfectly round. Also, yes I ran a few quick searches and didn't find anything that would solve my problem. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

70 Cam Guy Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 My first thought would be to contact the store/seller and ask about exchanging them for the set you ordered initially. It sounds like a lot of trouble to go through if you can exchange them for wheels with the correct bore. They may even cover return shipping since it was an error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
