I have a 2005 Ford F 250 6.0 L Diesel. I ordered a set of 17" Vision 375 Warrior rims wrapped in nitto tera grapplers. But when i installed them they wont mount up flush with the rotor which is allowing the rotor to travel and mess my brakes up. Now i dont understand why and the place i bought them online doesnt either.. what am i doing wrong?
What Do you think?

What you did wrong was to drive it without the wheels seated correctly. :nono:
Superduty trucks use hub-centric wheels, meaning there's a close fit between the hub and the wheel center hole. If there was rust and crud on the shoulder on the hub before you mounted the wheels, that might prevent them (asuming they're also hub-centric and not lug-centric) from seating against the rotors. The wheels should go all the way against the rotors with just light hand pressure. They shouldn't have to be drawn on by tightning the lugs.
Maybe they sold you the wrong wheels.

Well i brushed the corrosion off the hub and added a bit of oil around it. They wouldnt fit even used a dremel to get the slight lip off off and there was no way they were going to fit. the hub is 126.2 i think and my new wheels are 130 there shouldnt be a problem right? thanks for your help
