so i got my new motegi wheels and after 20 mintes of trying to get them to go on, i realized they wont clear the little bolt that hold the rotors on. i know i've seen people with them on before, anybody know why mine wont clear?

 

oh god........ i tought this month would end with only 14 people asking this question... I guess not. SEARCH please. there is literally 1098756541065106541746165466516517843`432432 post

 

the ultimate noob question...consider that 20mins you spent getting pwned by that little bolt, your punishment.

 

tought? is that sort of like tinking?

 

geeeee you ever thought about taking off the bolt???


common sense > you

 

even if the bolt comes off/out, there is still that little piece of metal it goes into. this was never a problem on vw cause instead of a bolt, they just used a screw which sat flush with the rotor.

 

If only we could get people to read this thread just once....

... their lives would be so much simpler.

 

i doubt it would make a difference without the bolt, but it's gotta be there for a reason. or at least it should.

 

so they put a bolt there just to keep people from putting the back rims on the front? does it not hold the rotor on?

 

*cough* click link above *cough*

 

it has as much to do with the rotor as a ***** has to do with a vagina

 

i did read the link. how do you think i found that out? i'm gonna go be a tard baby now. i've never seen anything like that before.

 

yes, so basically you have to keep it screwed in for as long as possible.

 

no....if you dont pull it out, you're gonna be stuck with stock wheels for a while.

 

^^^thank you somebody got it

 

You'll be fine. Just take the bolt out. Since the Z comes with a staggered setup, the bolt is there to keep people from bolting on the front wheels to the rear.

Post some pix when there on...


Geez guys, I know it was a noob question, I know he probably could have searched to find it, but give the poor guy a break. Post a link and call it a day.

 

This is very important bolt for your front brake. You need these two bolts. You should bring your car to welding shop and have them weld the bolts to brake rotors and sand it down. This will clear the rims.

Good luck

 

Don't listen to these guys! Leave the bolt there or else your rotor will come off. Your brand new rims won't fit so you need to give them to me. Please PM me so I can give you my shipping address. I'll even pay for shipping. I'm just trying to be a nice samaritan here.

 

our rotor are "floating rotors" That bolt is not needed to hold them on.

By the way that was my addition the the noob thread!

 

I guess this explains your purchase of the motegi touge
