Default What is this? Extra stud on front wheels.

When I was installing my new wheels I saw this extra stud. It was only on the front two wheels. It wouldn't let my wheels go on so I took it off. What is it for?

It's in your manual. The studs are there because the rear wheels are a different size than the fronts. It's to ensure that Z owners put the right wheels in the front and not on the back.

I didn't even think about looking in the manual. Thanks for the info.

counter clockwise with a 10mm wrench or socket will remove it. Cutting it will also work, take a video if you try

Might want to double-check that. A few extra grams might throw off that corner balancing...

Ah yes, the old "corner balance rot from the placement stud" syndrome. Well, a set of Ohlins external reservoir coilovers oughtta fix that right quick.
