Wow! That's quite the effort. OK, here's an oddball situation. Aftermarket
wheels had been put on a Mustang. A vibration occurred, and it took a lot
of sleuthing to find the problem. The factory wheels had a small counterbore
around the bolt hole where it met the hub. The aftermarket wheels were
flush. In the factory, a small retaining ring was used the hold the hub in
place for easier assembly. The factory wheels cleared the ring; the
aftermarket wheels just caught on it.
