I picked up one of my rims today from the UPS depot (they left it there by accident and only set out the other 3, still waiting on those to deliver).

I noticed the holes for the lug nuts are very deep, and i cant even get my tire iron into to hole to tighten lugs... I got them from discount tire direct and i think theyre sending lugs with them (must be with one of the other 3 packages i didnt get yet). Now, my question is, will the lugs be longer than the lugnuts from my stocker wheels? Otherwise, i dont see how I am going to get these puppies on...

OK, no problem, they came with lugs that have a long socket that goes on them.

The front wheels stick out a little bit, but i guess thats normal for a 9 inch rim huh?

Looks like the rear wheel is smaller in this pic for some reason. Maybe it's because the car is on an angle.

And it's definately time for some lowering springs!
