      Anyone Have Forgelines on an A-body?

      I'm trying to order some forgeline zx3r's for my '69 chevelle and I've run into a problem on the front with clearance between the hub and the centre cap of the wheel. Forgeline tells me the maximum hub spindle depth they can acomodate is 1 7/8" before it will bottom on the centre cap. I'm running Kore3 aluminum front hubs and they protrude 2.01" to the dust cap. I spoke with Tobin at Kore3 and he said a stock a-body hub acually extends more at 2.345. Does this actually mean that Forgeline can't make a wheel that will bolt on to a stock chevelle?

      To eliminate the problem I have a couple options:

      1) Change my backspace to allow me to run the max thickness back pad on the wheel and then add a hub-centric spacer to gain the additional clearance required (plus bring my backpace back to where it needs to be)

      2) Run without a dust cap at the spindle pin appears that it would just clear.

      3) Possibly go to a stock dust cap and "dimple" the crap out of it until it clears.

      Anybody run into this before?
