Well good news, my rims are ORIGINAL FOMOCO 68-69 rims so they have value to them. I saw some on ebay where the bid was at 255.00
So sell them and put that towards the engine or whatever as long as the rims are wide enough to get the traction needed for beating imports that's all that matters right?

How close is it to fitting? What is the possiblility of reaming out the hole on the rim to fit the hub of the rotor? If it is close you could use a drum sander on a drill and make it work.

no dont do that, take the rotor off, and take it to a machine shop the best and most logical solution!

Ok what about the structural integrity of the rotor after you machine the hub? It is 6 of one an half a dozen of the other. I'm not saying take a cutting torch and blow out the center of the wheel. I'm saying if it is close you could make it work with a slight reaming of the hole in the wheel.

No i have 68-69 15x7 rims. the hub is too big for the wheel. (the big hole on the rim is too small) How much do you think i could get for these rims?

um, the hub of the wheel is the same regardless of the rim size....besides, the only 15 inch wheels on a 60's Mustang were on Shelbys or on a BOSS, nothing else. The STOCK wheel, including the style steel was 14x6

Let me get this straight. Are you saying the hub hole in every wheel is the same diameter?
