I assume that you meant to post in a thread somewhere. Not to start a New thread that is a non sequitur.?

Well maybe if it was written properly so that it made sense without having to decipher what was being meant.

That's "bashing"? I don't have a clue what the post could be about. I was trying to be helpful. Had you responded with something sensible, I could have helped. Now you look like another internet DA, that I hope you are not.

I guess I should have just deleted it like I did your other inane thread about "front headlights" I deleted it to protect your image. I don't know how a stand alone thread saying thank you for pointing out a washer could be held to be a "how to". I guess you meant that to be in some other thread, but I don't have the time to guess and search.

Never heard of washers having to be between a rotor and factory rim set up. In fact, I've pulled many different car wheels and rotors in my life and don't recall seeing a set of washers.

Now, that relief cut on the inner side of the lug holes. Yep. Seen that many times. It's to make room for the retainer clip that many manufacturers use to hold the rotors or drums in place during assembly.
Most times I just "chunk" the clips. Don't need them anyway.

From what I can gather, at some point or reason you need a washer between the wheel and hub.

I just don't know what the point or reason is......
