like it says, nobody ever said if they needed to grind or machine anything like that, but now that i went to put them on(finally rolled my fender lips) they dont fit on the front. it looks like the hub on the rotor is too big. i just want to know whats going on because i know im not the only one whos ever tried to do this. thanks for the help everyone.

yes their offset is different, theyre also have an inch less in width, but that has nothing to do with my problem. the center of the wheel does not fit over the hub. my question was do need to machine the center of the wheel or the hub, or am i the only person whos had this problem with these wheels. thanks guys.

Most of the guys running 98 and up wheels are running sn-95 spindles ect. Yes you do have to clearance the wheel to clear the hub on svo's rangers ect. I would not hesitate to have them machined out or to have at them with a die grinder if you posses the ability to run one correctly.

I'd suggest machining, especially on a hub-centric wheel. The die grinder is just too imprecise.
Hub centric is kinda lost on these wheels when you bolt them on an svo.... You realize that the rear axle hub doesn't match the wheel right? Do you get any vibrations there? The lugs are going to dictate where the wheel sits regardless of how evenly you open the hole. I do realize that machining is "the way to go" but unfortunately there are a lot of us who either can't afford it or just don't have any shops that will take the time to do it. FWIW I would trust them either way.
What all is involved in switching to SN-95 spindles?
It depends on what mods you WANT to make. The easy ways is sn-95 a arms and spindle/brake assy. I used a ream on my sn spindles to match the depth and size of svo ball joints and bolted them on. It was the most simple for me since I had the tools. The only thing I noticed was that my car did sit about 1/2 inch lower with the way I did it. If you are already lowered this might not be good for you. I have some rubbing on the screw that holds the inner fender to the fender. I am running 225/40/17's in front.
KarlRodg88: Hate to say it, but one of the hardest things about finding rims for stock SVO suspension is hub-bore size. Unfortunately the only "viable" options you have now are to do some machining to the rims, hubs or change suspension.

You still running the stock SVO A-arms ? If im confused, please feel free to make silly faces at me and dis-regard the following.
Not sayin that you are in the same boat (but others like myself may be)..if you have some mileage on the stock A-arms one of the reasons to go SN-95 A-arms is because the ball-joints are serviceable. Mine werent bad by any means actually, but it was just one of those things that i didnt want to deal with if they did.
Also, Maximum Motorsport sells "adapters" for SN-95 a-arm ball joints to adapt to SVO spindles.
Just a few different options out there to alive the worries of bad non-servicleable ball-joints.
Sorry about the hi-jack.
