Dont buy Rotora rotors for Brembo if.

You plan on putting different rims on your G. I had my front rotors replaced with Rotora rotors and I just bought a new set of Maya STM's and when I go to put them on, the do not fit right because the replacement rotors are too wide. I even tried a 5mm spacer and still does not work so I went to a 7mm spacer and then I only get 4 turns on the lugs which is not enough for me when the factory get 10 turns. Now I have to buy new rotors for the front when I dont even need them yet. SUCKS!!!!

why dont you try getting longer studs for the rotors.
If that is the reason why you don't have enough threads to tighten up your wheels.

Real simple.

Just take the rotors off the car and hammer the stud out.
Bring the stud to the auto part store and i dont mean autozone.
Tell them you need a longer stud with same thread pattern and your set.

Is this only a problem with the Brembo replacements?

I ask because I am getting Maya wheels and I am also getting the Rotora replacement rotors. Since my car will be an 06 5AT, should I be ok?

Ok finding the studs is not a problem, I got them. Now I am told I will have to remove the hub too to get the studs? Is this correct, or do the rotors come right off and then you can remove the studs?

I can't answer as to the back ones b/c I only changed out my front ones. But the front rotors came off on their own as soon as I removed the brake calipers. After that getting at the studs was easy.
