alright guys, i just went outside and made sure they were not touching the captive bolts, and they are not. I went to put them back on and they would not go on*meaning lugs* i do not think they are the right size, they go on, but only at a certain angle and i dont think thats how they should be, threw my old rims on the front and i have no problems what so ever. Any one got the correct stud sizes for a 97 tib and any advice. Thanks laugh.gif

yeah, they are on. We had to drill out the back of the rims so that the captive bolts on the rotors would fit. Shakes at like 40+ mph, going to have the tire place balance the tires again and try a set of hubcentrinc rings or w/e their called. Any of you guys had this problem and the rings fix it? Please give me any input. Like how they look. But not the shaking. 02.gif

hubcentric rings are not that expensive. Try to get the metal ones if you can. I had forgotten to place hub rings on my wheels a while back and my steering wheel would vibrate at highwayspeeds. When I put them on, the probelm was eliminated.

You don't need it with OEM wheels. They fit perfectly around your hubs

Hotrod had his rims drilled out to fit over his captive rotors, no problems for like 5 years now.
Mind you he did it right, got a certified shop to do it correctly,... not sure how you went about doing yours
