HELLO, I JUST BOUGHT 18 VAULT RIMS 5X112 7.5 42 WITH BRIDGSTONE 225/45/18 TIRES. WHEN I TRIED TO MOUNT ONE RIM ON THE BACK IT WENT ON SMOOTHLY, SO I WANTED TO SEE HOW THE RIM WOULD ROLL BUT WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE THE RIM WOULD SPIN THEN LOCK UP THEN SPIN AGAIN LIKE AS IF IT WAS RUBBING ON SOMETHING. WHEN I LOOKED FOR ANY RUBBING IN THE WEELWELL I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING TOUCHING. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE????

 

the wheelbolt must be long!

if it is, then it will damage the parking brake mechanism inside.

 

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THE REPLY BACK.....WILL SHORTER WHEEL BOLTS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE ????? AND IF SO HOW WOULD I MESURE FOR THE PROPER SIZE??

 

i have no idea about your new wheel rim.

if you insert the bolt with the wheel removed, the protruding part must be the same as in the old wheel.

a little bit too late now is it? seems you will be needing repair kit for park brake shoe. but maybe it's still fine. take a look inside first.

 

HEY SLEEPWALKER,

THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THANKS! RIMS FIT PERFECTLY AND ROLL GREAT....AND PARKING BREAK IS FINE..

 

good news that it didn't scratch anything that might need $$$
