So i got a set of 19" GT-V's. I finally get them mounted and balanced. Decided to test fit on side and as i get the front driver side wheel put on. It doesn't fit. The bolts match up but there another bolt that is in between two bolts. Looks like a rotor release bolt of some sort. Well its in the way and will not all the wheel to be put on flush with the rotors.

Any suggestions? tips, help, anything...

thanks.

 

...waiting for noob eaters to show up.

 

take that bolt off and you're good to go!

 

yeah 10mm socket wrench in 30 secs and you'll be fine.

I'm sitting here waiting for the search kitty

 

could it be the bolt that prevents the rear and front tire from being rotated?


other than that, a picture would help

 

That bolt is there so that the people rotating your tires do not put the rear wheels on the front. You can take it off with a 10mm socket. You don't need it.

 

^^^ what everyone else said

 

Thanks guys... i feel like a complete idiot and was prepared to be flamed on. Figured i'd ask before taking stuff i didnt know off.

again, thanks!

 

you guys are all wrong, that bolt means you're SOL. you might as well just give them away...to me.

 

Then you gotta shake it like Whitney when you get the wheel on.

 

LOL.... done.

 

hey khoi i smell a noob! LoL j/k you better post pics.

 

Looks like you will have to send the new wheels back. Sorry.

 

Don't feel bad! When the 350Z / G35 first came out back in 02/03 I saw master techs doing double takes when the wheels didn't fit on properly, then getting on the phone and calling Nissan to make sure it was ok to remove it.

Ive yet to figure out how that actually works, my front and rear stock wheels that even say front and rear on them will bolt on the front no problem. Hows it suppost to work ????

 

another noob......search search....
dont take that bolt off, it'll ruin your engine and your brakes.

 

Really, how so? I can't find any read on it. Can you help me find where it says its bad to remove the bolt? How it ruins the engine?

 

These guys are pulling your leg. Remove the bolts, and toss them in the trash.

 

ummmm....he was doing this new thing called....SARCASM.

 

yea yea... I'm a NOOB! hahahaha geez...

thanks doods.
