I hate having captive rotors on my 97. it sucks. I just bought a new set of rims and forgot about that. Now, i tightened the rims as far down as they would go to see if they wqould be secure enough to drive on and no.

Anyway to get these rims to work with my captive rotors?

 

1. 8mm wheel spacers

2. captive swap

3. drill into the back of the rim

 

swear i heard this thread before... anyways be like me and drill that $hit wider and get it balanced...

 

i drilled the back of my rims and it worked good.. but it was a PITA to do.. and then i just swapped for non captive..

sparticus, those are my options correct?

If i do get the wheel spacers, will i have to get extended studs?



also, apologize for not searching first. Sorry.

 

for 8mm, i'm not sure. it would be pretty close...

it wouldn't hurt (to just get the bigger ones anyways), and wheel studs are cheap

 

yea theses captive rotars are a pain in the ass, i am in the same boat, good luck findin a solution

 

one more question: is it safe to ridea arround with rims on the vehicle that are not seated on the hub but are impacted at 100 ft/lbs just onto the big bolts? probably not but thought i would ask.

 

simply put..

<span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%">NO!</span>

and our lugs are supposed to be torqued to 80 ft/lbs
