I'm a total newb at this... I'm trying to put on my new snow tires\rims.. I know all about the rotation of the wheels, and that the rear wheels are larger than the front, but I'm trying to put the front left tire\rim on and it just doesn't seem to fit. There's some sort of extra bolt in between two of the regular long bolts (that the rim sits on) and it makes it impossible for the tire to fit... just barely

It looks like I can take the bolt out... I vaguely remember the person who sold these tires to me saying I might have to do something like that but I want ot make sure I can do this without having my break rotor or something fall off hahah

Sorry, I know I'm a total idiot at this... I've already searched the forums.. any insight?? I can take pics if I must

your instinct was correct; you can remove the bolt. It's only there to prevent placing the factory rears on the front.

If you remove the 6th bolt all the brake fluid is going to leak out.

Yep, remove the bolt.

lol I removed the bolt and all the brake fluid streamed out, then the windshield wiper fluid, and believe or not, the OIL drained out as well

jk, thx for the help. My Z is now winterized
