I got my new rims and they fit on the back no prob. but on the front is another story. Theres a round metal tube type of thing i duno the real name in the the middle of my rotor and i cant get the rim to go over it... has anybody else had this problem or am i just not doing something right... please help me.... what should i do to fix this problem? also will the rims grind against any of the steering components on the front of the car?

 

That round thing is a dust cap over your outer wheel bearing. Just take a hammer and slightly flatten it. It will not hurt anything to do this. You will want to test fit the rim after each adjustment the cap.

 

the diamater of it is too big and wont fit into he rim. shoudl i just grind down the inside of te rim or have it done pofessionaly

 

Isn't there an aluminum centering ring? Are you trying it without the ring? If the wheels came with the ring already installed, you can pry it out, then try the wheels.

Once you have the wheel on, look at the end of the steering knuckles and at the strut bodies for interference on the wheel. I had a problem when the dummies at the tire store stick the weights on too far inboard on the wheel and they like to smack against the strut.

 

Sorry if I gave you a misleading answer. I have ROH ZS wheels and I assumed the Snypers would have the same fit issue.

I can not believe that you would need to grind the inside of the rim. I think I would try what Jza said and remove the center cap and see if it fits. One other thing you could do is remove the dust cap and see if the rim fits.

Make sure you replace the dust cap before driving the car.

 

i tried both no fint.. im just gonna givem back to the guy i boughtem from and get my money back... im not gona mess around with them any more

I wasn't talking about the centercap.. I was talking about the centering *ring*. It's a ring that looks very much like a bearing race that press fits into the wheel. The inner diameter is the same size as the hub, and the outer diameter is the same as the wheel. It centers the wheel on the hub. Mine came in a plastic bag; 4 of them, and I had to use them to put the wheel on the car. Maybe yours came with them installed, and you have to remove them. If you bought them used, they're most likely on there already. They're really in there tight, so you may damage them getting them out.

 

no i didnt buy them in the babylon area but i am on long island about 15-20 min away from there. i paid 1000 for 5 with tires. let me know if your interested in them.. email me
