    -wheel bearings on edge of failure
    Unless tirerack screwed up my order they should ET20 all around. Will definitely confirm. I'm having a hard time believing that the struts a bent in exactly the same fashion. Hard to tell from the pics but the clearance is literally identical... I'll confirm that too :)

    The front right has no more than 30k on it... can't imagine that being their duty cycle and it was a FAG branded bearing too.

    Argh, I'll obviously check for play in the bearings as well.

    Thanks nando!

        I'll first check the wheels this evening and go from there. The paperwork checks out but maybe the wheels themselves were not packaged accordingly!

          Nothing is wrong with the wheels gents. I shot a vid, will upload when I get home.

          Its the corrado rotors, since there is no screw that holds the rotor in place its free to move around due hub design on the wheel. Wtf!

            Video:



            I'm thinking that the solution may be to have a hole bored out in order to screw the rotor to the hub just like the factory rotors... What do you guys think?

              Right so I did some more poking around today. I'm going to make the spacers fit so that they fit flush against the rotor because right now it sits flush with the hub... this explains the play in the rotor. I'll document this tomorrow because its difficult for me to describe the exact issue.

                Massive should have supplied you with a 3mm 66mm hub bore spacer, no?

                  I didn't buy the kit new so that probably explains my predicament lol. I'm okay with the 2mm spacers I purchased.

                    I am planning on getting some of these wheels and just to clarify for the 15x8 they do not need spacers? I have a set of ground controls with stock rotors and I am worried that there may be some rubbing.

                    Thanks

                      dude, I bought my Massive kit used as well. He sent me the necessary wheel spacers at no charge. Try contacting him.
