    Supposed to tighten them in a star pattern anyways. That's how you tighten any series of bolts to be torqued, for example the engine head..

    After calming down, I went by to see scott this morning. I UNDERSTOOD HIM WRONG! The bearing cap on the hub is too large for the wheel. I called and talked with the place I got them from. According to specs they are right. Bore size is 106+. Shitty luck on my part!

    What a cluster fuck; I would return those things asap before you miss out on the return policy and get stuck with those wheels.

    sometimes when manufacturers paint/powdercoat their wheels, the hub opening gets coated by a thin layer of paint/powder. this can sometimes cause a tight fit when you try to mount the wheel on.

    OR

    because of the tight tolerance, make sure that your hub is nice and clean for the wheel to slip on easier.

    disregard the above if they completely shipped you the wrong wheels.

    Stay with factory wheels and never have this issue/disappointment again. Plus they won't shake when you put a factory wheel on, if the tires not fucked up, like most aftermarket wheels do.

    That is not true. My Pro Comps never shook. If aftermarket wheels are that bad why do so many people run them?

    They shake because you weren't running a hubcentric ring. ;)

    I can guarantee when I get these replaced there will be a set of hub centric rings with them
