Default HELP! AXIS Milano Rims not mounting on front

I need help! I was unable to mount my front axis milano rims becuase of a bolt that sticks out that holds the from hub in. The picture shows the bolts that hold the rim on and then there is a bolt in between them that sticks out. That bolt is actually blocking the rim from mounting . Do you guys think the rim is defective?? I did purchase them from an ebay store and they stated that the wheels were specifically for 350z. I guess I should contact the seller and see if I can change them.Sucks cuz I already mounted the tires.

just take the bolt off, its there so you dont mount the rears on the front.

at least you didn't drill a groove on the back of the rim to try to fit it on.

Is your car lowered? Any rubbing? What lug nuts did you use, b/c the holes on the Milanos are tiny.

I don't have them on yet. I got some tuner lugs that have a special tool to fit them in the holes. You can prob pick them up at any import or tuner shop. I am going to be lowering on tein s-tech in a week or two when I find time to get them installed.

I have seen other posts as well. After they 'modify' one wheel, they come to the realization that they may have done something they shouldn't and then finally check the boards.

I know, you could have knocked me over with a feather

I had the same problem when mounting my Enkei RPO3's. Called Nissan Service and they said it's OK to remove the bolt and sleeve--"just don't lose it, because when you change front brake pads it needs to be re-installed (and then removed again) to make sure everything lines up properly" Although that makes NO sense to me, I swear that's what they said.

You can throw it away. Nissan put it there solely to stop their idiot technicians from trying to rotate the rear wheels to the front. That is it. End of story.
