spindle?

I have a 67 chevy w/ 71 chevy spindles which of course is the 5 on 5 lug pattern. I had a wheel company tell me I could not run boss wheels on my truck cause of the front hub is to big on the rotors. so I ended up buying wheels I didnt really want but it works. I have been to a couple of cars shows and noticed that people are running boss wheels on there trucks. Is there something im missing? Are people running a different spindle? If so what so I can do this?

Re: spindle?

I heard about the same thing when I considered buying Coys, there's a few threads on here. Sounds like an easy fix

Re: spindle?

Boss 338 wheels require a small amount of grinding on trucks with 1-1/4" wide HD rotors.
