Default forgeline wheels

My rears fit great until I changed my rear brakes
The wheel then went farther on the hub and would hang up slightly
I just took a die grinder and slightly opened up the taper and
all is good now...

It is just the front, and the hubs are new from Chevrolet and the wheels were ordered with C6 hub specs. I talked to Forgeline and they gave me the measurements and the hubs are the same as the wheels. They go on easy but they are a bitch to get off and before I put the front end on the car I would like to fix this issue. I thought maybe someone on Lat G had possibly had the same issue.

It's not uncommon on a factory car to need to kick the tire to unseat a wheel. Some emory cloth on the wheel may do the trick. A snug fit is good as long as the wheel comes off without excessive force.

so if its a steel hub to an aluminum wheel.....that's a galvanic reaction , try a lil bit of antiseize the surface of the hub face ...or the rotor hub face when you have the rotors on .It may not stop it, but will certainly help

Nope. See that extra little step on the snout near the hub face? It's not much, but it's enough. Install rotor, problem solved.
