69 2000 front hub size question

Any suggestions on what wheel will fit the large hub without using spacers? I can turn the hubs down to 73mm if I have to but would rather not.
Looking for 15-7 or 16-7 rim size
New to the forum and thanks!

I think your better off turning the hubs down, especially if you want 16" wheels.

Thanks for the reply. Agree with turning the hubs down to 73mm. Not that difficult.
Anybody have a set of wheels that are actually 73mm thru bore? I tried a JNC wheel and it had a 73mm counterbore and the "hub cap" hole was really small. Enlarging the bore on the wheel to 73mm looked dangerous! I know there are 73mm thru bore wheels out there but not sure what brand. Have had zero luck so far with any of the distributors or manufacturers themselves getting an answer.
Not hard to measure if you have them I wouldn't think.
Thanks

Check with FutoFab, they are in the vendor links section, and lots of Roadster owners have used them.
