Hey guys,
I finally got my diamond black GT-C's in and i went to put them on yesterday but i ran into a problem. The bolt holes dont line up correctly, they are off by about 1-2 millimeters on each bolt so the lug wont line up with it so it can thread. And i am using the aluminum hub rings too, but i tried it without the hub ring and it still does the same thing. It does this for every wheel ive tried to put on. The size of the wheels are correct, 5 X 114.3. Maybe i am doing something wrong? But something as simple as this shouldnt be this hard. Ill have pictures soon that might help, but if anyone has had a problem like this please let me know....
Thanks!

 

Well, what the hell happened? You're just gonna leave us hanging like this?

 

I just put a set on this week, they are very tight with the small lugs used. If you can drop the lug nuts into the holes on the GT-C when it's off the car, and can hang the wheel on the lugs, then everything is right.

Just keep trying, and remove the extra bolt off the front discs. Note that the acorn style lugs will not work, you need the internal socket type that will drop into the hole:

 

Yeah the lugs will drop into the holes on the wheel fine when they are off of the car, the problem is that when the wheel is put on the car, the studs arent centered in the holes for the lugs to thread. This happened with the front wheels, i havent tried to put on the rears yet, because i wanted to get this situated. Now, when i tried putting the wheels on the fronts, i never removed the little bolt on the rotor. Is that necessary? Is that what is causing the problem?

 

do it.

 

Yes you have to remove that bolt or the rims wont bolt on.

 

Yeah, stupid me thought that those bolts were important so i never tried putting the wheels on with the bolt off. Now i the wheels are on and they look plain siiick. Ill have a new post with the pictures of my car in a few days
Thanks for all the help!

 

Another guy that possibly shouldn't be working on cars 0wn3d by the rotor bolt. I mean seriously now people, how hard is it to realize that a rotor hat should not have a huge bolt sticking out of it when wheels need to sit flush with the rotor hat.

 

Anyone have a pic of this bolt? Ive changed rims and tires a few times and not sure what you are talking about.

Thanks,
