Man I just went through that.. yesterday.. I got done with one and it didn't clear the fender, the offset was wrong..
I will tell you the wheel must go on perfectly in line with those pins.. PERFECTLY STRAIGHT.. Even then I found I really needed to wack it as evenly as possible to get it to go on.. I would make sure it was lined up, wack the top at the 10 and 2 position, both hands open fist.. Then at 8 and 4.. same thing HARD.. I finally got it started so I could use the spinner..
You might check the pin holes at this point. I found that a small amount of material was being moved around when I had tried to start the wheel on while it was not perfectly straight and I cleaned it out with a Dremel.. LIGHTLY remove and material you can feel doesn't belong, be it a burr or a ridge..
Needeless to say I am devastated mine don't fit.. Trigo will do nothing for me despite assuring me they fit EVERY Contemporary.. They don't if you have a Type 1 rear end (e-type)
Mine are now for sale if anyone is interested. $200 off the listed e-bay price to club members..
