I have searched and searched..but I can't find the post about the rims that have the groove cut out for the captive rotors?!

So hopefully someone can help me out..and tell me the pattern

Id like to sell my rims, and get a set that are set up for captive rotors

Not sure what type of specific rims have cutouts but I know the bolt pattern is 114.3x4. You could always use wheel spacers but I do not suggest it.

do the captive swap its easy and cheap. also if your rotors need to be changed you wont have to get the wheel baring pressed everytime. safer for you aswell.

I don't think any aftermarket rims come like that,... most guys used spacers (not my favorite solution) and others have drilled out the part where the big ass bolt heads are.

Doing the swap is a better idea,...

I bought 8mm spacers and they work for me... IT will very on your rim and how far back it goes back to clear the lug nut.. If you get atleast 3 full turns you should be ok. imho. But make sure you check your lugs often.

expensive rims would have holes in the back of the wheel for ur captive bolts.. i heard rotas make wheels for captive bolts.. you can drill the rims u have to make them fit.. ( like what i did).. most rims that are only for 4x114.3, shoudl have a spot behind them for the captive bolts.. but to be sure, you should ask before u buy.

I saw a lot of rims with different lug paterns (4 and 5 lugs) has grooves for captive bolts, like on stock rims.

Go to a shop and see which models comes with those grooves.

Also you may use 8 holes rims with 4*114.3 and 4*100 holes.
