    wheel problem

    I just tried putting on a set of rims on my 03 corolla and when i put it on and bolted it the center cap wouldn't fit because the bolts were too big. I did put a hub centric ring on before placing the rims on, would that have something to do with it or do i just need smaller lug nuts???

    Can you snap a picture?...You didn't use the stock lug nuts did you? If you're slappin' on new rims you need to use tuner lug nuts

    i used the lug nuts they gave me but they were longer than my stock ones. I know it wasnt the hub centric ring because it fit right into the back of the rim. Im thinking they just gave me the wrong size lugs or not the right offset maybe idk im calling them tomorrow morning

    yeah you probably need shorter lugs, the only reason a center cap wont fit is lugs sticking out too far or the cap is warped, i doubt its warped

    If it has a cap you need the open ended nuts, not the capped off chrome ones. The chrome ones are only for capless weels, caps = open ended nuts.
