Question WTFF steelies wont fit

undefined

hey guys i just went through hours of trying to figure how the hell to get a jack under my skirts so i can get my good rims off and put the steelies back on for the snow, and the backs fit fine back on the drum but the fronts wont slide on enough to get the lugs started. I was wondering if maybe theres a hub adapter or something for my aftermarket rims (alt 7's) thanks

oh and i just got my new camera so i'll take some pics and post them later

Are these the stock wheels that you took off to put the aftermarket rims on, or did you get new steelies??

Yes the do sell longer studs at the auto parts store, Make sure you get the correct size and thread, if you explain your situation to the person at the store, they should be able to help you out.

However you may have to change them every time you change your wheels.
