Talked to Speedway. The drive plates are hardened so they can't be turned. They can be ground but anything more than .01" is not recomended since it may cause cracking near the bolts holding the dust caps. Looks like the wheels will be headed back to Michigan.

If you couldn't tell from the other posts I was a little frustrated with the issue but after talking to the team at Formula 43 I'm feeling much better. Travis and Trisha are going to take care of me and adjust the bore on the rear wheels. I'm really glad I chose Formula 43.

Here are a little better pics with light.

Just a minor technicality, which Eric and I are still working on for TOW. I should get mine back from the second ceramic coat tomorrow and then hopefully have TOW back together by the weekend.

Car looks really good, I like that stance! You going to have her ready for the Spokes event at SAR on April 27th? :)

Luckily I can change my exhaust more because I'm too cheap to get the pipes coated...Until I swap the LS the headers are going to be the biggest issue. I'm really thinking to cut out the rear floor pans and raising them 1-2" so the mufflers are a little higher...

She will be ready for the SPOKES event one way or another.....I'm ready to get this thing back on the road.

Yep, the mufflers themselves are my lowest point now, and they can't go much higher without cutting the floor. Having the Tri-Y headers makes it easier to tuck them up in the front for sure...

If you need another pair of hands, let me know, but it sounds like you are pretty close! :)

The LS will be in long before oct unless I need to be out of the country for work. Don't worry about that.

Rims will only set me back 2 weeks. Travis says he'll have the chamfer corrected in 1 day. Shipping is the longest part.

I've been talking to others and found the hub should be a tight fit to support the wheels. I took the drive plates off and checked them on the wheel. The bore Travis put on the wheel is very close so he obviously knew more than I did. The issue with the fitment comes only with the radius in the end. The wheels and drive plates are headed back tomorrow for a slight adjustment on the chamfer.

I feel like I ranted too much in the previous posts as a result of other stresses in my life and might have shed a bad light on Formula 43 due to my ignorance with the fitment. It's important that everyone knows Travis has been extremely patient throughout my wheel purchase and delivered an awesome wheel to my specs very quickly. The more I look at the wheels the more I love them. I'd highly recommend Formula 43 to anyone out there. I might be overthinking my comments but on the web things can be taken many ways. Reputation is also critical in the automotive aftermarket so I want to make sure everyone knows how pleased I am with both the product and service.
