A lot of people don't bother to cut the inner rib of. Doesn't look so clean , but is probbably stronger too.

What's the benefit of using hex wheels on the front of a 2wd car over the standard bearing fitment?

Relief of the aggravation of having to stab yourself in the hand
every time you try to punch out your wheelbearings with a screwdriver.

Put them on the 2nd rib out on the wheel, or cut the row off with a dremel

Instead of a dremel, I just use an old dulled pair of lexan (bodyshell trimming) scissors. Trims them neat as you please.

Yeh all sorted now. Score them around three or four times with a stanley knife then they trim off really easy. Thanks everyone for the advice.
