i was talking to a shop where i was going to buy my rims and they said ill have to get rid of or grinddown the bolt so that that rim will fit properly, i was just curious as to what other people have done or does this bolt even effect anything?

 

What year is you tib. I know that a 97 (mabe a few 98) you got to remove a small screw but im sure others know more then me.

 

Talking about captive rotors im assuming. That or u can swap to non captive. which has been covered many times. I just drilled out the back of my rims to fit the bolts.

 

its a 2001

 

there are 2 screws on the hub

take them off and you should be ok

 

lol here we go again...

those are captive rotors which are only in the front. you cannot sand those down because they hold the hub together.

in the read you don't have to worry about because there are 2 screws that can be unscrewed. they are not important.

the best way to do this is go to a shop, have them order two used 2000 wheel hubs for $200 each. it will probably cost you $500 to get the rotor hubs swapped with labor but you won't have to worry about the whole thing falling apart when your rims are on.

either that or get rims that fit over the bolts. they're the hardest to find.

good luck.

 

would non captive hubs off a elantra fit?

and could i get a pic of the part that i would need to replace "hub" not exactly sure wat part u mean. lol

And.. i got captive rotors, so would i have to switch or would they work? Thanks

no problems at all remove them.the drum will be held in place by the the wheel and the lug nuts wink1.gif

 

With a 2001 Tiburon, you have two small screws that hold the rotor on when assembling the brakes. You can remove them without any issues. Chances are the brake discs are rusted to the hub anyway. Once you bolt on your new rims, there is NO chance of the brake disc moving seperatly from the hub or the rim due to the lugs that go through it.

As for the question of elantra hubs fitting the tiburon, I do not know. You might have to do some parts numbers referencing.

 

QUOTE REMOVED


I'm having a HELL of a time removing those two said screws.... they're RUSTED right into the hubs, and the metal is extremely soft.. so I stripped the tops in no time.... I did manage to remove 1 set... off a pretty much brand new hub I replaced last year (wheel bearing problem) . The other 3 sets refuse to budge. Spent 4 hours so far just messing with the screws.

So, anyone planning to put aftermarket wheels on.. if you have a 2001 tib, take those @$# screws out BEFORe they rust to the hub...
