Wheel barely fits over hub

[TB Rich]

On the front/drivers side - my old 200 cup wheel, on and off fine.

My new 200 cup wheel, required some pretty hefty force to get on. I tried both of my new ones which had the new tyres for the front and they were both the same - tight.

Yet....those 2 new ones fit the passenger side fine?!?!!

Anybody any ideas? Doesn't seem like any logic to me. If the hub was too big (is that even a thing!) then surely my old 200 wheel would have been tight on and off, unless its worn over time??

cheers

Fresh paint/powder coat?

I sanded the inside to make sure, also they fit the px side ok!

Will get a price on a new hub sticky out bit:




Why can't even a wheel change go smoothly for me, 100% made up my mind the car is going now. If it was meant to be kept, then **** like this wouldn't happen. A spare set of wheels and a refurb - ending up needing a new hub piece! FFS!

Lol know the feeling mate.

My hub bearings and track rod ends need doing. Never ending with the car!

Although I am actually enjoying driving it at the moment...stick with it until it's done then see how you feel. It'll come good eventually

How much was the hub if you don't mind me asking? I think I need one.

Didn't buy one I'm afraid, ended up getting the wheels re-powder coated and told them to properly mask the inner face off, fitted fine after.
