Front rims of an '05 vs '04 or earlier.........

[seypea]

Got chrome rims sent to me for my 05 750. Backs went on fine but the fronts didn't work. The people I bought it from said its the right one, but maybe the '05 is different. So now they are buying a new 05 wheel and dipping it so they can send out to me. Does anyone know if the bearings hole is different, my dealer said it didn't fit cause holes on the rim were too big. Also holes didn't match up right. Just wondering. Here are the pics of the rim they sent. Center hole was too big, cause the bearing would go right through and the outer holes didn't match. Did '05 rims change?

Yes , rims changed in there somewhere . Bummer . The hub is wider , and the discs are flat instead of "dished-out" like on the previous years .

Bearing sizes change from 15X42X13 to 17X40X12 between the '03 and '04 model years.
