Sooo I'm puting on my snow tires right now and am very confused as to how to properly put my tires on...this may seem kind of dumb but I figured I would ask so I make sure I do this properly.

I took my stock rim off and went to put my sport edition a7 rim on and found this extra bolt sticking out of my rotor:



Is there a way to remove this? The new rim wont fit onto the bolt pattern unless this is gone so I don't know what to do really. Thanks in advance for the help

 

It's a dummy bolt! Remove it! Infiniti put it there so people wouldn't put their rear wheels up front!
Pictures of the new rims?

 

Infiniti prob put it there so the apes working at the dealership wouldnt do that....

 

I'll post pics of new rims in a few mins!

But yeah all I have to do is just unscrew it? The rotor just spins when I try...is there a way to lock the front wheels? The parking brake just holds the back...

haha sorry guys I feel like an idiot but just feel like I should 100% sure I know what I'm doing

 

Yep, all you have to do is unscrew it! It doesn't have a lot of thread at all
Your going to have to find someone to push on the brake while you unscrew/tighten

Try this^ if your the only one home at the moment, use a piece of wood or something

 

Got it! Thanks everyone. I'll post pics when I'm done

 

Or wedge a long breaker bar inbetween to lugs and ground.

 

To keep from damaging the threads on your studs when you wedge that breaker bar in between the studs just put the lug nuts on. That way all that force from the breaker bar will be on the lug nuts and not on the threads.

 

^ good advice...

... but still no new pictures of the wheels!

 

You're right!

As promised:


Really happy with how they turned out. The sport edition a7 rim is a very cheap but good looking rim for the winters. The rims themselves cost me $400 for the set. They are a little heavy but thats ok with me for my winter set.

 

Niuce!!! Dumny bolts lulz :P

 

When i was installing my aftermarket rims i was asking myself WTF was that bolt lol but i just took it out and throw it away looked like it had no purpose now i know what it was for lol

 

I have the same a7's for my winter rims! Cheap wins!!

I think they look decent for winter though, opposed to the generic black steal rims.
