So I tried installing some new rims today, and guess what they don't fit. This stupid bolt below seems to be hitting the inside of the new wheel



two questions:

1) What is it?

2) Can I remove it somehow?


This is how the inside of the new rims looks, they're 19x9 offset 25



and I've got the adaptors to fit the new rims, but the bolt above hits before they even touch the adapters

 

It's just a little bolt to secure your rotors. ( only two on the front two rotors) you can remove them when you install an aftermarket set of wheels. It's no biggie. Wheels are strong enough to push and secure them on place.

It's that simple.

 

Take those bolts off. They're just there so you don't accidentally put the OEM rears on the fronts.

 

REjection bolts, so that rear wheels don't get mounted up front.

...just remove them

:edit:
wow, you have to be quick around here

 

Damn man, Bloody hell and I just got back from the little workshop we have Damn damn damn it,,

Now Dilemma, do I leave it for tomorrow? or do I go finish it off today?.....humm I think I'll leave it for tomorrow.

Thanks for the quick response guys, it's really helped me out I was $hitting it for a sec

 

please make sure to post pics of your ten spoked goodness mounted on your G

 

lol will do so, either today or tomorrow

 

Now that you have your answer... Make a thread & Post Pics...

 

lol well hey I'm new to *** cars anyway, so those silly bolts were a first for me

Will have pics up once they're installed but I doubt I'll have time today as I've got a wedding to go to later on.

So looks like Thursday is the day

 

Can't wait to see them!

 

WRONG!!!

its just a bolt that prevents you from installing the wrong size rims on your front since your front and rear rims are different size.
It has nothing to do with the rotor

 

And a tip... once that bolt is off, if you can find a longer version of it you can use that longer bolt to take the front rotors off should the need arise ... a minute, tops, and no banging

 

Do you mean screwing a longer one and pulling the rotors out that way?

Yesterday when I playing around the rotors already seemed pretty loose to start off with.

 

being on a sand dune prolly helps the hat from rusting on the hub face. 1 yr in well salted central NY winters makes this bolt needed for rotor removal. Consider yourself and your undercarriage lucky

 

Main reason would be preventing from mount wrong rotors, but secure and holds up rotors are another part of the reason. Therefore, You are wrong.

I also clearly stated that you can go ahead and remove the bolts when you install an aftermarket set of wheels. (which what op needed to know)
