Default captive or not

Wheels. I am buying a set of hubs from a 2000 tiburon. Is there any concern about wheel fitment coming from a captive set up? The wheel are aftermarket 16" made by American Racing. I gave them a look and seems there wouldn't be a problem. Just unsure. Thanks.

I did the non captive hub swap on my 97 tib which made finding and fitting wheels that much easier. You shouldn't have any issues.

Thanks. That's what I had figured. And then the brake pads, when it's time for new ones, I buy them to fit the caliper....right?

There will be no difference with the brake pads. So, you will be just fine.

It all went together smooth as butter. I was able to pick some rotors and misc parts for the rest of the car for $50. I paid $20 for almost new rotors. I kept the old pads, had a chunk of life left on them. Thanks for the help.
