    I was swapping out wheels on my 360 tonight, but when I got the rear passenger side off, I couldn't get new wheel on. There is a difference in the plate and where the lug nuts thread into, now I have a 360 jacked up that I cannot put any wheel onto, any help out there? I am assuming I need to get a huge socket and loosen the center bolt to align properly? Thanks.

    looks like ur disc brake has spun on the hub off centre a wee bit carefully realign it with a large Philips hed screw driver or small bar go easy on the threads, it won't take a lot of effort. There shud be a bolt and a locating pin bolted to the disc to lock it to the hub and to locate the wheel did u remove the pins/bolt or were they missing?

    Thanks for the info, very helpful. No pins, I will try your way and hopefully get it aligned. Thank you.

    Should be an easy fix. Definitely do not loosen the large staked nut-- that will do you no good at all and would require re-tightening to a specific torque.

    The locator pins for the wheels are sometimes removed to accommodate aftermarket wheels or spacers.

    For future reference, the Hill Engineering wheel installation tool would be a big help in this particular situation.

    Thanks for the help guys, I was able to align this morning. I had emergency brake on during process of jacking up car, I took off the emergency brake and turned rotor to match, all good now. Thanks.
