00 WS6 wheels wont fit

They hub wont clear the inside lip, so I imagine that needs to be ground off the inside of the wheel. What did you guys use to clearance them? I have tried a sanding bit, stone bit and a tungsteon cutting bit and nothing worked.

i imagine its just the rear rims? u have to grind down the inside of the hub a lil bit, i just took a file and took a lil off, was done with both and had them mounted in 20 min.

Same thing happened when the 16" chromies from off my '99 was put on the '95 Camaro. Just had to grind inside the hub of the wheel slightly for it to clear. I would imagine sanding it a bit would take care of the problem? Do you happen to have any idea how much material you've removed so far? You don't really have to grind on it very much at all.

yep, wheel shop had to do the same thing to make my Z06 wheels fit on my 94 they did it a little more uniformly though and had the next door body shop bore out the inside hub of the wheel only took em one try to make it fit decently but the shop was great they went back and bored it just a hair more to make it perfect

All the methods I used look like it barley took any off, those of you who ground them down, did you use a mill file or what?
