Hello all:

My buddy and I tried to mount my rims last night with no luck. Apparently on the hub there is a gold peice which is hitting on the back side of the rims. I have two pics here to show what I mean. Basically that gold piece is scraping on the bottom part of the second picture. The rears went on fine, but the fronts will not.

Someone please help!!! I have regular brakes, 35+ offset, 8.5" fronts, all the right stuff, but they wont go on!?!?!

What can I do? I am very worried at this point. Please help AsAP.

THANKS in advance..

Just wanted to add, is there a way to take that thing off? So many members have these...why won't they fit on MY car?

I'm sure it's a simple explanation...anyone care to help? Thanks again.

Just remove the bolt. It for factory rims only.

 

yeah ,you need to remove if you want to put aftermarket rims

it's there to make sure people don't put rear wheels in front... whatever that could do.

 

10mm socket should do the job

 

or 12mm can't remember

 

Thanks for all the help guys--got those suckers off.

I'll post pics later.

 

now you can breathe a sigh of relief and you Z cant take a deep breathe before it bears the weight of those heavy *** wheels.

 

lol.. funny thread. I would have freaked out too if I didnt know what it was, but I did alot of reading on the forums so I was prepared when I took off the front wheels.

 

Yeh, I look back and realize how silly I was. Anyway, here is a crappy pic:
