yours are chrome correct? they made a polished aluminum version of those as well that will fit, yours either need machined or a spacer

Im not sure what size spacer you need but If you put the rim on and measure the distance between were the rim gets stuck and the seat point on the hub you will know what size spacer you need, without the guess work
