MSD 8.5mm wire fit 8mm wire looms?

i have a set of Made for You centerbolt 7-8mm wire looms. am looking to buy the 25 ft bulk wire from MSD and the 90* boots. however the wire is slightly thicker than what the loom can hold. would this be a problem or can i make 'em fit without crushing it too much?? anyone using this setup? i wanna be sure i can use 'em before i order. thanks.

you could always drill them out slightly larger.

I have had these for about 2 years..they are for the 8mm wires and Im fixin to go with some 8.5's I dont see why they wouldnt fit...you just wont be able to screw down the looms all the way...

in that case they should fit. i forgot the looms had the screws thru them

i ended up ordering the 25 ft bulk wire set, along with 10 pairs of boots. hopefully they'll be here by saturday.
