A Friend Of Mine Is Trying To Install Later Model Corvette Wheels On A 70 Camaro And Is Having Problems With Fitment. The Front Wheels Will Not Bottom Out (mount Flush) On The Spindle/hub Because The Hub Snout Doesn't Exit Through The Center Of The Wheel Like The Older Style. The Only Way The Front Wheels Work Is With A 1" Spacer But That Places The Wheels Too Far Out And The Tire Rubs On The Fender. Does Anyone Offer A Sealed Bearing Hub For This Spindle? I Hope The Question Is Clear.... Because I'm Confused And I Wrote It!! Ha Ha.. Thanks In Advance.

No idea on the bearing, but if worse comes to worst, ATS has rumored that they will be releasing their second gen AFX spindles with corvette hubs before the end of the year. I know that's a sucky solution, but like I said, if worse comes to worst...

What year corvette wheels? What size? The wheel adapter should take care of your issue.

Could you machine the center bore of the wheel?

i'll find out what year corvette wheels he is using and post it soon.... he thought about machining the wheel but it has a flat center cap and of course the cap wouldn't fit after that. i think he is going to have to continue to use the spacer or change front wheels.... thanks for the help, i'll get more info.
