The picture I'd have to take one, I'll pmail it to you, my camera is
somewhere. The center bore I didn't touch, but I had to drill out the wheel
bolt's holes. I'm using longer 14mm studs in the rear, and the longest 14mm
studs I could find in the front. I have the big brake kit, and I had to open
up the rotor stud holes, the knots were not allowing the rotors to sit
properly on the hub, and the drill bits were very expensive. All worth it,
though.
