guys...I just got AZA z-8 with a chrome lip 18 wheels and the back tires fit perfectly but the front ones don't because on the rotor in the front is this bolt that screwed into the rotor that gets in the way of the wheel. Its exactly between the other 5 stems coming out of the rotor. Is there anyway to change that bolt to a short or one that is flush with the rotor so it fits on the rotors...i'm stuck with nothing right now...please help.

The wheel on the front doesn't fit because of this. There is only one extra bolt on each front rotor...I could easily unscrew it but I have to replace it with something.

I had a similar question a week ago and the guys over on the Infiniti Technichal board were really helpful... below is the post that I sent out... ask those guys over there this question and I'm sure someone will have your answer... someone will chime in quickly!

that is the exact fit I was supposed to get..and the dang extra bolt that looks like it has a spacer is coming out between the stem on the front rotors only...my size is perfect...I need to know if I can remove that bolt and replace it with one that comes out flush kinda of inside so when the wheel is placed on the rotor its flush too..i'm screwed...ahrgg

I'm not a mechanic - but I believe that is the bolt that you tighten in order to remove the rotor - These bolts were removed by the shop where I bought my rims. So while you don't want to throw the bolt away - I dont think you need it in everyday operation. Hope that helps.

Chrome lip? Hmmm ... sounds like you may have the wrong offset wheel for your car perhaps.

Can you tell us what is the size of the wheel? And also the offset you are trying to use?

yes the OEM are for sale. The chrome lip isn't the factor. The offset is a match..the back wheels fit perfectly and they would on the front except the rotor bolt, as I now know is there in the way..the wheels do fit perfecty except for that. Can I get a bolt that is flush...or remove it??
