That's a lot of material taken off.

Might as well bring it to a wheel pro to inspect the integrity and see if they advise machining down the fourth one to match the set if it's safe.

By the way, I wouldn't advise bolting them on until you've had someone inspect them for safety. That is a shit ton of hub taken off. Most pros would advise no more than a few MM shaved off, yours have 17mm taken off, 2/3rds of an inch!

Also, the Dunlops are only recommended to be put on in sets of 4, so that's two safety recommendations you've got going against you if you only mount the rears.

Id say find a cheap set of rims and have the tires swapped over. And if you can possibly contact the person you bought the rims from and demand your money back. If you can...

Id contact the seller about not disclosing that concerning fact... the guy sold you a set that doesn't match. I probably have a ring I can ship to you but it doesnt look like you will be mounting those too soon.

Thanks for all the advice. Looks like I'm screwed for now. That's what I get for going cheap.
