not too much. do some searching on these forums, and search for the needed parts on www.car-part.com and junkyards. a lot of the junkyards on car part will ship things. you should need calipers, rotors, hubs, and spindles.
option 1 is the best. spacers put extra stress on the jugs. just not safe.

I solved the problem of those two screws in my rotors by counter-sinkind them into the rotor.
1. take one of those screws down to Home Depot and get a tapered screw and a LARGE drill bit.
2. VERY CAREFULLY, drill out the hole a little at a time and test fit your tapered screw until it is completely flush with the rotor when it is tightened all the way. It must be completely flush for the rims to sit right, and also the rim will help keep that screw from coming loose.
3. repeat step 2 for all those screws around your car.
This has worked for me for the past 25,000 miles and I have had no problems at all. Hope this helps! smile.gif

TibbyTib, you have a 99Tib if I'm not mistaken right?
You have NON-Captive rotors.
Those little phillips screws you can just take out.
it's the BIG-ASS honking bolts from the 98 and older Tibs that people have problems putting aftermarket rims on.

cdubb - in case you're getting confused... DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLTS.
You have Captive Rotors.
Search the forums for ways to convert to non-captive rotors.

My bad guys. I thought this is what he was talking about. Sorry! sad.gif
On a side note: I was told by two different shops to keep the screws in. Thats why I did what I did. I don't know much about brakes, so I figured out this solution to keep them in there. If they need to be in, they are there. If not, I guess I still figured out a way around them so they work with my rims regardless if the screws are in or not. smile.gif
Does anyone know what those screws are for anyway???

total cost with junkyard parts, and you doing everything yourself, about 400 probably. you would have to pm some people that have done it.
those tiny screws you can take out are used for holding the hub and rotor together during assembly. nothing more. the wheel when torqued down holds the rotor to the hub perfectly.
