So I just found this nice set of original date stamped 1971/72 Pedrini wheels that I thought would look much better on my '74 2.0 than the Riviera's (stay tuned...will be for sale shortly). I plan on running the stock 165/80 15 tires as well.
The rears bolted up fine (of course, I had to go out and buy a set of 40mm length thread bolts as the Riviera's only used 25mm length). Then, when we went to mount the fronts, we realized that the front brake disc rotors had a hub centric ring and the back of the Pedrini's had a countersunk shape (see pics below). Any suggestions how to make these work? (BTW, the Rears fit just fine) Thanks Paul   |

I know of three ways to make the .00 part number wheels work on a later car:
- Mill a recess in the back of the wheel for the centering ring on the late hub - Mill off the centering ring from the late hub - Change the struts and hubs (rotors) over to the early style with the pinch-bolt rather than the wedge pin ball joint I'm not a fan of any of those, frankly. I suggest swapping the wheels out for ones that actually fit. --DD |
