there new rotors just normal ones for a EF falcon, got em at ABS center there not official ones from ford, but the studs are long like 5mm to long, the back of the rim is flat theres no room for the 5mm sticking out, as the rim must sit flat on the adaptor. the 5mm of left over stud is stoping the rim from sitting correctly, could i just trim up the studs where theres no thread??? refer to above pic.
