The rotor doesnt fit on the hub? Or it doesnt fit because the bolts are too small (which will make the threads too big.Sounds like you just need bigger bolts.May be they sent you 2 sets of hardware for the front wheels?

Did you get both front and rear wheels? The rotors look the same but they are different? The front has smaller holes and smaller bolts. The rear has bigger holes and bigger bolts. Sounds like you may be criss crossing them(using the front on the rear) Or they sent you two fronts .Instead of 1 front 1 rear.

Sounds like you got 2 front rotors with 2 sets front hardware. The front uses 5/16" and the rear uses 3/8" hardware. At least that's the way it is with stock.

Default problems

another ride wright problem take a good look its seems to be happening on a daily basis now. who do they have working for them. these things can all be avoided if they had some quality control seems like they are becoming one of the companies who are living on past reputation. yes its great that they will make it right but at your expense meaning another delay in game. chit happens but this stuff can be avoided very easy measure twice cut once kind of the same idea. double check all orders maybe even three times its definitely costing them money any way you look at it
