First off, what the hell are you doing with those hex lugs under the regular lugs, and second, changing hubs so incorrect wheels fit seems a little extreme or silly to say the least.
 
those wheels look like factory ford truck wheels that have been painted.that would be why they wont fit.aftermarket wheels are designed to fit all hubs that they have lug patterns for.are those lug holes designed for 14mm studs?i would not try to put those wheels on your ride.
 
Common mistake people make is that just because more than one make or model might have the same bolt pattern spacing that the wheel will fit overall.
 
Old pic, these are not the wheels in question...Rim in picture is 2006 dodge cop wheel with a 1/2 acorn chrome lug nut works fine & tight...what u see is what the kid did...My question is about the hub ,not the lug nuts/////

FYI, this is a dodge cop wheel that fits fine with 1/2 chrome acorn nut............I asked about the hub not the lug nuts...any answers for a smaller hub ?

THOUGHT THIS WAS A PLACE WHERE YOU ASK FOR HELP & CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ?

LATE MODEL DODGE COP WHEELS....I ASKED ABOUT HAVING A SMALLER HUB...NOT LUG NUTS...
 
Would probably be easier to machine the wheel center to fit your hubs. Yeah, this is a place to ask for help etc but when you post a pic that looks like someone is trying to cobble something together without an explanation of what's really happening, people get concerned. I would have asked too because it looks like a safety issue. As for swapping out hubs, I have no idea what else might fit....or if there is such a thing.
 
That hub needs a cap.... show a pic of the rim that doesn't fit... I feel for the car... don't fiddle-F#¢$ that car..... get the right parts...
 
Thanks Cranky, helping my 17yr old understand do's & don'ts of car restoration...Machine shop was my suggestion
