What's up Everyone,
Trying to mount my after market wheels onto my G35 Coupe but apparently there is this stud that is blocking the way. Attach is a copy of the picture. Can someone identify what that stud is?? and Is it safe to remove it??

Here is the spec of my after market wheels.
19x9, +42,
19x10 +47

Any help is appreciated.

For some reason my attachment didn't show up maybe because the file is too big. In any case, you can find the picture here.

It is a "safety" device so someone does not put your OEM staggered wheels on incorrectly. You can just remove that bolt with a socket. There is no reason to replace it after unless you sell the car.

 

Great !! Thanks for your input. For a min. there I thought it was some kind of sensor so I didn't want to mess with that thing.

 

even then, you wouldnt have had to replace it. I hang on to that bolt for when changing/removing the rotor. Sometimes the rotor is on very tight and i will put that bolt back in the hole and tighten it. End result it pops off the rotor without having to bang on it with a mallet.

 

remove it and buy some spacers. the offsets on those rims are very depressing and a no-go

 

Hey vq35dedriver, with these offset what will happen if I don't use a spacer??
It will rub against the brake?

 

Quick Question: With the above offset I'm running.
What is the measurement of the wheel spacer I should get, 20mm and 25mm?
I want the tires to flush with the fender without having to roll it.

 

youll need at least 25mm all the way around....those offset are way to high for a coupe or a sedan.
