GNX Style (4 GTA Fronts) rims and wheels were installed last night and already have 100 more miles on them
Fronts went on like a champ
Rears were a different story......
Here I am 10:00 pm at night, out in the driveway, colder than $hit, swapping out rims & tires
I go to put the rears on and for some reason the lugs will not thread onto the studs
I take off my gloves, I lay on the ground, I try several different lugs before I finally measure the stud and find out I have extra long, 14mm aftermarket screw on studs instead of 12mm regular length studs (on the front end)
I'm pissed
So I empty half my garage looking in old parts boxes until I find a set of 14mm open top lugnuts with the proper tapered end and sure as $hit, they screw right on with no further problems whatsoever
Granted I can't run the little plastic covers (on the rears) that screw onto the lug nut, but I did manage to paint the lug nuts high gloss black today and they blend in real nice with the rest of the rim
I'm very happy with the change in rims & tires
Tell your wife & George that I appreciate the help last night
