Default 5 Lug question

I bought these.. http://www.jegs.com/p/Ford+Racing/757469/10002/-1/11231

but they don't bolt up flush with my bullitt style wheels from an 01 gt. has anyone else had this problem? what do I need to do to fix it? Can I put a bevel around the part where the wheel bearings go or do I need this spacer.. http://www.jegs.com/i/Mr.%20Gasket/720/2371/10002/-1

some wheels just wont fit over the hub on those things. and for that price you could have done the sn95 conversion. i dont like the idea of using spacers. makes the wheels stick out, and there is a chance you will feel a little vibration in the steering wheel.

i couldn't find a pair of sn95 spindles, calipers, hubs and rotors for less than that... anyway, I think that I'm just gonna bevel the edge. I need mabe a quater inch or so and the rim is also angled in so it should slide right in. I just did some measuring and it should work fine. (I converted the rear to disc)

$100 for my entire front setup...

Send those discs back and keep looking for a swap setup.
