Default 2007 Mustang Ran Into A Issue Installing TSW Wheels. Need advice? Bore wheels?

So I recently bought TSW Snetterton wheels, the front being 20x8.5 and the back being 20x10. I took it to a tire shop to get them installed, but they said that only the back wheels fit and that the front wheels didn't. The center bore diameter on the front wheel was too big for the wheel. The guy said to bore the wheels out to at least a 3in diameter=76.2mm, and about 1/2 depth I believe just to be sure. I thought all mustangs had a 70.5mm center bore diameter? And I saw on a website that the wheels have a 73.1mm center bore diameter. Should I just take the wheels to a shop to bore them out or buy spacers? I need some suggestions.

Anywhere in the Bay Area that bores wheels?

If these wheels are made/sold for Mustang they should fit. I'd contact the company and ask them what the deal is. It may be the fronts were boxed wrong.

Yeah I agree with what Sparta says, but u only have 3 options as far as I can see, let seller figure it out, bore them or use a spacer of some sort

I believe the hub on our cars are 76.1 so the CB on the wheels need to be 76.2.

Yep, check with who sold you the wheels and make sure they are the correct ones for the front before you do anything else

I bought them off someone on eBay, so that's not going to happen. Weird because I thought the hub size on Mustangs were 70.5mm. And the hub size on the rims are 73mm. Thing is, the rim only has so much depth which is why it doesn't stay on, so I need to have it bored to a 5/8" depth I'd say.

If the seller on ebay said they would fit then file a complaint. They hate it when you do that.

No, they didn't say if it fit. I mean it's an easy fix. I got four 20" TSW Snetterton wheels with tires for $650. Not bad.
