I just received my new racing sparco wheels and was going to put them on this morning. The wheels are 19x9 and 19x10 with +22 offsets all around. When I tried to put the wheels on, they did not seem to fit because of the extra stud on the rotor blocking the way. (see pic)

Do I need to buy anything extra to put those wheels on? I saw others on this board with the same wheels with no problem.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

 

what does the back of your stock wheel look like? how does it accomodate that ?

 

That bolt holds the rotor it in place....Just remove it and put ur wheels on and start PIMPING!!!! wheels shuld be torqued at 90foot lbs...Or so every one that has rims set up has to remove it...

 

I have 2006 stock 18 rims, they have big holes behind to accomodate the extra studs. The racing sparco wheels have a smaller area behind.

 

i am a noob. is it safe to remove the bolt?

 

Yes remove the extra bolt. It's for dummys that don't know to keep the stock wider wheels on the back. :P

 

Thanks for the info, everyone. I am going to do that just now.

 

The that bolt is there to prevent dipshyts from trying to rotate the stock wheels from front to rear. Since they use different tires sizes stock, you cannot do a front to rear tire rotation. The bolt does not hold the rotor or do anything else. Remove it and put your new wheels on.
