Had a great night last night

well as some of you know i cracked one of my 18" rims on jersey roads so I went & bought some polished 5 star stockers with tires for slightly over $200 Â* on Wednesday night...well the 18's have dinky ricer lugnuts & I only had like 12 gm outside thread ones at the house so just threw on the front two wed. night & yesterday bought the rest of the needed lugnuts. Â*So i went to throw on the back ones(this is where the problems started) with my car being lowered i cant get my jack to any of the true jacking points so i decided(like a dumbass) that my rear lca will hold the weight on just the one corner(well I was wrong) and bent my pass rear lca lol(bent it back into place & put the car on ramps) after the car was on the ramps I can only jack up one side at a time because the borla catback is in the way of the center member so i do the pass side first with no further problems...go around to do the drivers side and have some issues...the lug nuts arent coming off smoothly...any of them... ba ting, broke off one...ba ting, broke off two... lol got the other three out with little issue but now only have 3 lugs lol. Â*So anywayz i throw on the rim and take it off the ramps but now with just the 3 holding it on. Â*Went out and bought 5 new studs(yes im replacing them all on that hub) but of course im not gonna be around for a while to even get it done hopefully replacing them will go smoother. Â*Anywayz anyone that wants to give a hand your welcome over on the 30th which is when im gonna do it since i have the day off lol. Â*Fun stuff.
