Ok here is what I am trying to remedy before I get any further along.
Right now I only have 1 front fia wheel from Trigo. Will get another front soon.

In the below picture is a front hub mounted in the front wheel. Thread engagement looks perfect. Spinner is on about 9 1/2 turns.

In this picture a rear hub is mounted in the same wheel. I don't think there is enough thread engagement. It is only about 4 1/4 turns on.

Wheel hub thickness is about 3 7/16. This wheel has the right backspacing is correct for an original car. I was hoping that that a rear Trigo wheel had a thinner hub and get more thread engagement.

In this picture you can see that the rear hubs are shorter than the front ones by about 3/4 of an inch.

Does anyone know how long the hub is from the mounting flange on original cars that fit these wheels?
