    I want to put magnum 500 on my 72 Comet GT The front has been changed to 76 Comet disc brakes.
    I was told the hub diameter was too large for Magnum wheels. Anyone heard of this before?
    Thanks.

    Someone is FOS..

    Factory 14" fit Torino, Mustang etc with disc, no doubt 15" will also fit without issue... The 14" painted Magnums with trim rings were common on Granadas....
