Rear Disc Boss size

Hi all, I bought discs and pads from an ebay supplier. The front discs fit perfectly, what I mean is they accept the wheel when offered up.

The rear however wont accept the wheel as the boss is slightly too thick.

We measured it against the original one taken off and yes there is a difference, actually between all four.
But the main point is, it wont accept the wheel. The difference is very slight but just enough that it wont take the wheel.
see pics

Has anyone else had this problem?
They are drilled and grooved discs as compared to just flat ones.

The ebay seller says its "fit for purpose" but checking in here before i explain to him what fit for purpose actually means.

Cheers.

Graeme.

One hub almost fits but the other at 59.98 is too close to the 60mm gap the mechanic is saying it should be. He says the other could be knocked on but would struggle to get it off.
Never had this issue, this is the 4th set of rears fitted , cheaper ones normally but paid lots more for these ones.
No corrosion on the wheels, all dont fit, he tried them all.
Front ok as mentioned.
Gee.
PS, he is a Renault mechanic

Update,

After being offered a measley £75 refund from a £235 sale I am going to keep the rear discs and get them machined to the correct tollerances.

Johhnyboy on Ebay will get no more of my business.

Cheers.

Gee.

Why would you keep them? eBay will side with you and he will have to pay return shipping.

Plus fyi those are cheap discs that someone has drilled/machined. They are worse than a set of genuines
