Take a deep breath and calm down so you can actually put a sentence together so we can understand what you are saying.

Are you saying that you can't get the bolts to line up with the holes in the wheels? Does the wheel/tire combination not fit within the fender? Be a little more specific and maybe folks can give some advice.

And let me be the first to say that your initial mistake was thinking that 20's' belonged on a sports at all.

What is the exact problem? The front lug holes don't match the stud pattern?

And I have to ask, what is your jacking point in this picture?



And I thought you "put these bad boys" on your car about a week ago?

Just install your 20's on an SUV, but if you must make your Z look Ghetto read the top 100 and figure out if your doing something wrong.

I'll bet it covered there, not to mention just about anyone who didn't get raised on Nintendo could figure it out without reading the top 100.

I would probably get the proper size front tires before you drive on them. 245/40-20, Better yet , get rid of the dubs and get nice wheels.

Wow. This whole thread reeks of failure. Without all the details, it's hard to know for sure.

OP - does the front hub appear to have 6 studs instead of five? Five regular threaded studs then a sixth one, out of place, no threads? It appears to be a hex head bolt through a small steel cylinder? If so, read post #2 in the Top 100 Questions thread, please.

Do you have a base model Z? If so, good. If not, you are going to have problems with TCS/VDC based on the tires sizes you listed.

I can't believe with a year worth of planning, these two simple problems are going to throw a major wrench into the works.

How many sets of holes are on the wheel?

All you have to do is take a bigger drill bit and drill the holes bigger!! Prob solved!! Unique auto does that all the time!!!

Is the back side of the hub stamped with 5x114.3 or is there a label that specifies that bolt pattern?

Since the back wheels seem to fit correctly, why don't you just try to mount a rear wheel on the front? If it fits, then the wheels you bought for the front must have an incorrect bolt pattern.

ABS SLIP VDC OFF lights you mean? Yes caused by a malfunctioning cam position sensor. Resolved when I replaced it. Why would I mislead this gentleman?
