New wheels won't clear hubs

I posted my .02 over on bigblockdart.com - here it is again:

Been down this road with another brand wheel. You either go with an aftermarket hub assembly (like Wilwood), turn the center of the stock disc brake hub (and all future hubs) down or do what I did and open the center of the wheel up. If the wheel uses a bolt-on cap it shouldn't be a problem. I have a friend with a Bridgeport milling machine in his home shop. He fly cut the center register to 2.85".

The stock brake hubs do have a taper out near the dust cap where it's not machined. So, you may only have take some meat from the back side of the center bore to gain clearance and not go all the way through. (You said the taper starts .5" in from the back. I'm saying extend that farther towards the front) . Talk to a machinist. It's probably not as hard a fix as you think. Just a pain - it sucks.
