    Default Trouble fitting Chaser wheels and centre caps.

    Hey guys, I purchased the wheels around a week ago and finally got the time this afternoon to try and fit them up.

    Im having trouble as when I tighten the new chasers back up to the car, I cant seem to get enough grip on the lug and keep slipping off as the centre cap isnt giving
    much clearance for the wrench. I was just wondering If the chaser wheels/centre caps are used with longer wheel lugs then normal or a I doing something totally wrong?

    The answer may be obvious but i thought I would try asking anyways, thanks

    I thought these wheels were designed to be bolted to the hub with the centre caps removed and then replaced when the wheel has been bolted to the hub. If you remove the large centre cap from the wheel I cannot see how you would have a problem fitting the wheel nuts.
    Cheers
