Need Help, can anyone identify this part/stud?

Hey guys,

I've been through 2 sets of rims trying to get one to fit my 2010 G37S sedan. The first set (MRR's) fit with spacers in the front, but wouldn't clear in the back. Now, I have concept one's and they will clear with spacers, but whatever this stud is on the rotor is getting in the way! It's only on the front two rotors, not on the back.

I'm assuming it's a sensor of some sorts. . . . but I want to friggin' dremel it out!!

Any suggestions? Only thing I can think of is to use a die grinder on the rims and take a little bit out.

It's just a safety pin that they used to prevent you from putting your rear wheels in front. It's useless besides that, feel free to take it off.

By the way all you need is a wrench and it'll unscrew right out.

Also, if your rotor gets stuck on the hub.
You take the bolt out, remove the spacer, then run the bot in, and pop comes the rotor!!!
