Are the 5 lug rear rotors supposed to use the 2 small screws to mount them to the hub or does the wheel just hold them to the hub?

Are the 5 lug rear rotors supposed to use the 2 small screws to mount them to the hub or does the wheel just hold them to the hub? The Hub is a URO hub which has the 911 mounting hole pattern. The Rotor is a 914-4 redrill and the mounting hole pattern is the 914 pattern. Solutions: 1. Redrill the hub to the 914-4 mounting hole pattern. 2. Redrill the rotor to the 911 mounting hole pattern. 3. Set your handbrake by using two open faced lug nuts then, install your wheels as @JamesM mentions and forget about it. 4. Purchase 914-6 rear rotors?? |

With new 5 bolt hubs there would be no compatible stud orientation to retain that set screw functionality without drilling more holes. For sure not worth the hassle to drill for those, especially considering I have had zero issues in cars where I have ran without them which is far less than I have had swapping rear rotors in cars where that set screw rusts in place and strips out when attempting to remove. Rear brake jobs are a lot more enjoyable when they dont involve f'in impact drivers and/or drills. |
