Seemed to be find to me the way they are.Originally posted by old yellow View Post
I test mounted them and they seemed to fit just fine, and the socket slides over the lug without touching the rim.Last edited by TorqueEffect; 02-19-2014, 12:00 AM.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

the tuner sockets are thinner * fit w/o any mods to the wheels.Originally posted by old yellow View PostNever Hire a Boy to do a Man's Job!!Comment

Yeah the socket I was using was a deep well standard sized socket, but fit just fine over the lugs, and was thin enough to where it doesn't touch the rims. Came out of a cheapy duracrap socket set from autozone.Originally posted by kumalaba View Post1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)
