i just got my gt-7's, i'm trying to put them on (front left) and they're not going one!!! The holes are lining up, but i can't push the rim in!!! there's another (6th) screwish kind of thing in the center of the brake rotor that's preventing it...PLEASE HELP ME....asap, i'm trying to get them on right now!!!

 

this screw doesn't fit in... (look at next psost)...

 

this "ditch" area of the rims... ...any insight people, i need help ASAP

 

remove that POS.. its there to stop people from mounting the stock rears on the front... doesnt apply to aftermarket rims.

Exactly. It won't hurt to remove it at all. There are holes in the front OEM rims and not the rears. This is to prevent some idiot from trying to mount the rears to the front. That's all. Its perfectly ok to remove it.

 

Send me your new rims so I can see if they fit.

rip that sucka off

 

I had that same dilemma. I just took it off.

 

its easy as pie to take off as well, I was a bit suprised and didnt have the proper sized socket for it, so I went at it with a pair of vice grip pliers, came off without any fuss.

 

Man, I was gonna say that.

 

Me too when i got maidos i was like **** i got ripped of but just take off that screw..

 

so i guess that u have to rip that sucka off if u are gettin aftermarket rims??

 

no just unscrew it

 

thanks guys, now that that's resloved, i got the rims on, now this came up:

What size are your rear tires?

 

You'll need to paint those calipers for the rims to "fit".
