Ok I just got 19" Volk GT-C wheels and the studs aren't long enough on my car to put the wheels on? Has anyone had this issue.

 

I think it might be the lugs nuts that I have that are the issue does someone have a close up pic of the lugs on there car to see how deep they go inside the volk wheel?

 

Or even a picture of a lug used on a volk wheel would help because these lugs would stick way out because of where the flange is.

 

you are not trying to use the stock lug nuts right?

 

No they are a wheel mate product.

 

Is this the problem?

 

No because the front and rear wheels wont fit

 

Can you post pics? Are the wheels not fitting tight to the hub or are the lugs not fitting in the holes?

 

That doesn't sound right.. we helped a friend install her 19" GT-C's in April and her studs were fine (albiet a little short but fine)

are you sure the wheel is seated properly on the hubcentric ring? it does take some force to get it in.. and you have removed that safety bolt in front?

Thats the other thing. The distributer told me I wouldn't need a hubcentric ring. They are one of 3 distributers that Mackin Industries list so I figured they knew what they were taking about.

 

Are the lugs the right thread pitch? They should be 12 x 1.25.

 

The studs are not extending past the flange on the wheel where the lug would seat.

 

the threads are the right pitch. But only maybe three threads of the stud extend far enough to get the lug on.

 

The GT-C's we installed definately had the hubcentric rings in the box.... I dunno if i would put them on without them because you could have some wheel vibration issues..

first time to see you have problem with GT-C. Make sure you take out all the hub ring from your stock wheel.

 

Ok I just spoke to the guy that I got the wheels from and he sad he screwed up and that the GT-C requires a special lug and he is sending them right away.


**APPARENTLY THEY NEED WHAT IS CALLED A SHANK LUG?
