Default They fit!

I did a 5 lug conversion on the coupe...also added QA1 K member...manual rack...and new LW struts with QA1 coil overs...the bullits fit but it seems like these rotors I have have too much meat in the center and the rims dont fit flat on the rotor..**edit...steve b just told me...sn rims wont fit on fox rotors...no biggie....welds will do fine......I think I might play with some spacers...there was some question wether the front tires would rub the fender....no way...plenty of room...

you can make those wheels work....

They don't sit flat because the hub center on the rotor comes out far enough that it hits the lip on the SN wheels where the center cap clips in. You can either have a shoulder machined on the hub center of the wheel OR ream out the hub center of the wheel (and never use center caps again).

Seriously... take the rotors to a machine shop and have them mill a shoulder onto the ends of the hub centers. Should cost much at all. (next time, get the FRPP 5 lug conversion front rotors... they're different enough that there's no interference.)
