    17" Kopi, lug bolts too long?

    I just installed my 17" Kopi wheels, and the stock lug bolts seem to be too long. They are going through the wheels and actually hitting/grinding on the hub. Has anyone ever encountered this with these wheels before? Are there any places to buy shorter bolts? I've called around and found lots of places with longer bolts, but no shorter bolts.

    I didn't have this issue.

      are your lug bolts anodized black? Do they say anything on them? Febi or something? I'd guess your bolts aren't stock since people would definitely be bitching and moaning about this along with everything else about these wheels.

          Turns out it wasn't the bolts, it was the wheel hub rubbing against the brake pad backing plates
