BLAISERSC430 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Merry Christmas everyone! My wife was kind enough to buy me a new Rim for my 2002 SC-430 to replace the front right rim that was leaking a little. My question is - Does anyone know if the Hub Cap Bolts that hold the Hub Cap on are different sizes or is there only one size (M8 x 1.25) my old hub cap bolts won't fit into the new rim? (TOO BIG) Is there a chance that the new rim has too much paint build up inside the bolt hole? Let me know if any one has had a problem with this or know of a fix or remedy... Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard70 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 You are right, the threads are filled with overflow from the wheel coating process. So you will have to re-tap the holes. It's not difficult to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll run a tap through them and put the original bolts back in. Best Wishes and Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
