as there any way to adjust how muich the bolt sticks out through the moddle of break disks ect, duno what its attacked to, but a shop said about adjusting the drive shaft, because it sticks through my wheel about 5mm too far for me to fit on the center caps.

are they only to stop dust at the rear ? so i dont need them othen because the cnetre caps o nthe alloys will seal it,

now for the front again... lol

not even the std dust caps, like th e2s that were on the rear will fit on the front becaus ethe rod sticks out that much

It's the stub axle, and you can just hacksaw it down apparently and then taper the end again (so you can actually get the nut on/off after sawing)...

Also with the rears leave the dust cap on, but just cut the clips off the centre cap and use a bit of silicone to stick it on

easy fix - put spaces on but then will rub on arches and fk up et

u can take cap off - but grease will cover the inside of ya alloy. the caps or on to stop dust getting into the wheel bearings and to keep the grease in
