My GT-S wheels came in a few days ago and when I went to install them today, the front wheel won't go in. Looks like there is a nut between two if the five studs (on the hub) that won't let the wheel go in all the way....

Any idea how to get around this, or did they just ship me the wrong wheels for my car???

 

take those off...no biggie

 

that's just to designate what rim goes where.. (OEM staggered marker) take it off

 

what the heck is that? i cant find it in my service manual (may be looking in the wrong place).

 

thanks guys. i freaked out for a sec. i was so excited to get these things on...

 

It's okay man. This should be a sticky though. I've seen multiple threads regarding this. Post some pictures!

 

I agree; it should be a sticky. I’ve seen this question asked before and promised myself I would not forget when it came time to install my wheels. When I went to search for the answer, I couldn’t remember where I had seen the question before!

I’ll try to get some pics, but the car is in the alignment shop at the moment.

 

How are you suppose to take it off?

 

you take a ratchet to it and unbolt it! easy as that.... i keep the bolt in case im changing rotors. when the rotor doesnt wanna budge... just screw that bolt in until the it pops right off.
