What is it there for? Does it MAINLY hold the rotor on or does it just assist? Is it in both rear rotors and if so have any of you had a rim issue? I have been waiting on rims because this looks as if it's going to be a problem and interferrence.

TIA

 

remove it.. it wont hurt anything.. they are in both rear rotors and will possibly cause fitment issues so just take them out

 

they hold the hub to the rotor (barely)... but your hub won't fall off if there are 4 lug nuts holding the rim in place. lol.

take 'em off. take 'em ALLLL off

 

yea.. it is only there to keep the rotor to the hub when the wheel and caliper are removed. More than likely it is there to help in production.

 

sweet...thx everyone!

also...can anyone tell me exactly what offset is when it comes to rims?? i want to get 18's ideally but would the offset be the same no matter what?

 

offset = how far the wheels sticks out from ur car, your gonna wanna look @ the offset and the width of the wheel, but as far as takin the screw out , i had to chisel mine out then sand it down nice and smooth. You're not gonna be able to put on aftermarket wheels if you dont. If you got a RD2 itll be ok to take out, if its a RD1 and non-captive break setup you are also ok

 

+40 to +42 on 17's for your offset will be fine
17"X7" Wheels

Stock offset is 45mm. The lowest offset I've read of anyone using with 205 width tires is 35mm.

 

We need to get offsets and stuff like this put into the FAQ.

 

hey, I had all this stuff in a sticky thread in the old forum...but someone went and changed things without askin' me first. So tongue.gif on your FAQ. lol.gif
