Yup, that was me testing out his new lugs.

Okay seriously, that's pretty lame if someone did try to jack your wheels. On the bright side, your new lugs for the 10mm spacers should be there tomorrow.

Is this your self-nomination for the "Captain Obvious Jerk" title?

Seriously though, glad you guys found out before it was too late. I assume you didn't have extra lugs laying around, so what did you do when you found out?

maybe that's what I gotta do

borrow two of jose's LM lugs, so only 4 proper length lugs per side right now...but according to jose 4 "should" be fine. I'll have extra lugs when i put the 10mm on, should be alright...
