The original 427 rear hubs are 3.75" from outside edge to mounting surface
the front hubs are 4.5". I remember having to buy two new L and R front hubs from Shelby American and chase the hub threads to provide enough thread to mount FIA rear wheels on the front of my car in the 1970's. Conclusion, they are thinner in the rear on a stock 427, hope this helps.
