Default how to install Caps on TE37 and Change the Lugnuts

hi guys i know this is Stupid question.

I search already but no answer that i wanted.

I have 19" TE37 fitted with OEM lugnut.

So i bought a VR center caps and Blue Rays lug nuts.

The question is.....

How do i fit the VR center caps? Do i need to remove the wheels to install it?

Can anyone use OEM nuts on their TE37 remove with the OEM lugnut wrench? it seems i can't get the wrench fit into the Lug Hole of TE37 (well just fit tight).

Also the Rays lugnut adapter is too small with the OEM lugnut wrench.

I need help here guys!!!!

Cheers

ok here is the package of the CEnter caps.

People kept saying just a push with Grunt it will snap in

Each caps on the package has 3 rubber ring

First ring is already place on the gap. the 2nd ring is a Thin rubber ring.

Only with those ring the center cap will go in easly but it's not secure. just moving the car it will surely pop off right away.

The 3rd ring was not installed.

I wonder if i should be using 3 rubber ring or 2 rubber ring?

Mine just had one o-ring that was installed on the cap. I pushed the cap in to the hole on the wheel untill it was about flush with the rim. They never fell out.

Thanks. I ended up fitted it myself by changing the Rubber ring into the Bigger Rubber ring. plus using 2 rubber o ring.

So now is the Lugnut. Has anyone tried removing the OEM lugnut on their TE37 with the OEM lugnut wrench?

Thanks

no - you probably want to get a socket and a breaker bar to get those off though. I didn't know that the stock lugs would fit. I just removed my TE-37's which had a smaller size lug on them than stock - and it was still tight. I wrapped some moleskin around the socket so I wouldn't sratch the rims.
