Okay so i bought some diamond wheels and went to put them on the rear, there are two phillips screws in between the lugs that are preventing the rims from sitting properly. what options do i have? can i just remove the screws??

Those screw are supposed to sit flush, can you take a pic and post it so we can see what exactly you are talking about?

This is what it looks like on both rear rotors. wondering if i can just get more from the dealer or something, seems like they are going to strip.

Hmmm, I don't know about non turbo cars but on the turbo cars, those screws are shaped so they sit flush in the rotor, you need to remove one and see if it is shaped like a funnel, if it is, you need to get the correct screws, gotta remove one to find out though

They are supposed to be flush, someone did a brake job on it and lost the orginal screws and put those in their place.

That's what I figured, I've never seen any car that has the screws not be flush. It's an easy fix, get 4 new screws from the dealer and replace them

That's true, the wheels holds the rotors on anyways but I always feel better having all my parts on my car
