New str wheels? How to fit?
So with 1.25 adpaters... the back of the rim doesn't come flush with the adapter... why? Because of the ****ing hub... how should I go about this?
1. Shaving the end of the hub a little?
2. Scarier longer adapters? (2 inch)
3. Honing the center of the rim?
What to do what to do....

The subject suggests reference to "steering" wheels. 
Moderators, can you move this post to the Wheels and Tires section?

Stock 91 rotor?
The right way is to get adapters; you have spacers.
An ideal adapter will have a hub protrusion that fits the wheel, and studs in a pattern (120mm?) to fit the wheel.
Then, on the inside, an inner diameter to fit the car hub, and bolt pattern to match the car. (4.75")
You will have to measure, but I am guessing a 1.5" adapter is going to get you close to what you need.
If you think 2" spacers are scary, you're right. Ill-matched, non-hub-centric adapters can be too.
