Need Help PLEASE!! Wheels don't fit

First of all, Hi guys, I am new to the board. I just bought my 94Z after giving up on mustangs. Ok- here's my problem-I'll try to keep it short. I bought a set of used 02 SS wheels-Five Star type-and can't get the rears on my car. The fronts fit fine, but it looks like the rears the hub is a little to wide for the lip on the hub of the wheels. Any body have a good solution to this- I am sure this is not the first time to have this happen. I can only think of taking a Dremel and grinding the lip down a little, but will this destroy my wheels? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You have the right idea. I'd use a "flapper" sanding wheel for the job if I were doing it.

I had the same problem myself. Just grind the hub opening of the wheel slightly larger so that it slips over the hub on the axle. It won't hurt a thing.
