ok guys i got another ? about my rims...I have motegi mr7's and on my z24 the front wheels there is a nut that sticks out in the middle that wont allow me to put my rims on with the center cap in...the only way i could fit them on was to take off the motegi center cap...is there anyway i can get the cap on

are your lug nuts too long?

TealZ00 · #3 03-23-2005, 02:56 PM

no it has nothing to do with the lug nuts....its the center cap....im talking about the center of the wheel part on the car like one the rotor....there is a screw that sticks out so my rim wont fit on unless i take the center cap of the rim off then that screw slides through the whole were the center cap was

your from il i see lol so am i, um i am trying to picture it but i can't. how big is this thing and what it is connected to

ok picture a cavalier with out the front wheel on.... in the center of the rotor there or whatever it is there is a screw that sticks out..makin it impossible for the rim to go on unless i took the center cap of the rim off so the screw can slide through...on the back that screw isnt there.

yea thats your hub if i remember right, did u buy your rims online?

TealZ00 · #9 03-23-2005, 04:12 PM

no i bought them off a guy with a sunfire who said he had to do the same thing to get them on..i just wondered if there was a way i could get them on with the center cap or if there as like a deeper cap i could buy

Nitrous_Boy · #10 03-23-2005, 04:14 PM

that i don't believe so because then the center cap would stick out past your rim.

What you are seeing is the end of your axle shaft. If you are willing you could cut off the excess shaft flush with the end of the nut that holds it onto the hub this may give you enough room to install your center cap

is that safe?

cut what you don't need to cut anything It'll position your wheel 1/4" or whatever spacer you get out further, now it could rub the splashguard on full lock but it's nothing more than annoying! It should work. DON'T cut the the hub nut in anyway!
