Hi fellow ephatchers!!!
I have a problem that i would like to hear your opinions.
I found a set of rs locally. 7.5 fronts & 8.5 rears in 16s. Rears are bit wider for my personal taste but hey... cant complain about bbs.
The thing is that the the original lug pattern for the wheel is 5x120 originally but the owner have filled/redrilled them to 4x100, which is it iffy since i dont know weather is was worked on bt a reputable mechanic or not.
also since seller's car was a vw he uses the lug bolts instead of lug nuts so when i tried to test fit the wheels the drilled holes where too small for my lug nuts to fit in..... (lug bolts are way skinnier then nuts...) :( (i use aftermarket lug nuts)
soo in the end, is there any 'skinny' lug nuts that i could use? or do i need to widen the lug hole?
Thanks in advance guys :)
