Anybody running 17" Cobra Bullit rims on a Duster

So after digging through this thread for 2hrs, is this what needs to be don't to get the oem 17x8 with 5.72" BS to fit on my 72 Duster with BBP discs up front? can I turn the snout of the rotor hub down and run the 3/8" spacer instead of hogging out the center of the wheel? I'd prefer in not make so I can't put a center cap back in place.

Yes, you can turn the outer diameter of the rotor hub down a bit. And more than likely you'll need at least a 1/8" spacer anyway, because usually the 17x8's start interfering with the outer tie rod around 5.6" of backspace anyway. Only turn as much off the hubs as absolutely necessary, there's extra meat there but if you take out too much you'll weaken the hubs. Most of those OE rims have more space in the hub bore toward the inside of the rim, it's only the last little bit where the center cap is that necks down and interferes.
