I just put my stock rims back on and the rear driver's side has a gap. The gap is between the actual wheel and the little round part on the rotor where u mount the wheel. When I drive and let the steering wheel go to see if it goes shake, the wheel shakes back and forth maybe 1/4 of an inch back and forth.

When i took the Volk rim off that I had on, there was no gap. However, the rim was kinda stuck to the rotor i guess due to rust and i used WD 40 to take it out.

Any suggestions? I am fearing this might hinder my steering and handling.

You probably have the front and rear wheels mounted in the wrong position.

Take the wheel off and check for a hub centric ring stuck on the hub. Chances are you also have another hub centric ring stuck inside the wheel as well. When doubled up on a single wheel the two rings prevent the wheel from sitting flush against the hub.

Your wheel will eventually fall off if this is the case!

What do you mean? I didnt know there were different positions you can mount the wheel into.

If you mean I got the front and back switched, it doesn't take genius to figure which one goes front and whihc goes back.

I think you left your hub centric ring on there from the Volk wheel. If you take the stock wheel back off, you'll probably see a little plastic ring in there that shouldn't be used with the stock wheels.

Hope this helps!

I was thinking you reinstalled the Volk wheels.

With the stock wheels there should not be a hub centric ring installed.

BTW, my Volk CE28N wheels came with Aluminium rings.

Do they just pull off, or do they twist?

Ah, good to know. I've seen them come only with plastic ones myself
