I apologize if this has been covered, I did use the search feature but didn't get the exact answer I was looking for. Recently bought a nice set of 15x7 Aluminum wheels (unsure of brand, they are old) test fitted on the rear, fit fine. Went ahead and peeled out the money to have them powder coated. The color and quality is amazing! Went to fit them on the front and lo and behold, the damn things wont fit over the hub bolts! So my question is this: can the existing 12mm bolts be removed and replaced with bolts with a smaller head? Has anybody done this? The gap is only about 3, maybe 5 mm that I need to get the wheel flush to the rotor. I have considered a 5mm spacer, but that would leave me with even fewer threads on my already short factory wheel studs. If I hadn't already powder coated them, I'd have the center bore opened a few mm.
Thank you.
