New 338 hub bore on the front side of rim: 2.682" (68 mm)

Stock hub outside diameter: 2.835" (72 mm)

So it looks like even after all this waiting I'm still gonna get to do some grinding on the hubs to get the fronts to fit. That's really super-duper-uncool, even if it's only 2 mm all around. I thought these had been reworked to fit properly.

(No, I haven't tried test-fitting yet. The chassis is still buried under a pile of parts from winter storage.)

Posted this in the other thread but thought I'd share here, too, since not all of you follow both threads. (And am I the only one not getting notifications anymore from this board when a reply is posted in a thread I follow?)

Just got back from AutoZone. BAD NEWS. The stock rotor does not fit into the -3 rim. I forgot to bring my caliper to measure, but from what others have reported it seems to be the same issue as with the old revision, bottoming out about 1/4" short of sitting flush. Honest to God, what the did they change in this revision?!

I'm going to be making a call to the regional AEW office tomorrow and let them know what's up. It's not the regional manager's fault they effed it up, but at least he can pass it up the chain.

Unbe-effing-lievable.
