Lugs size?

[cldub]

So, being the tard that I am, I didn't test-fit my monoblock IIs before I got them all finished and tried mounting them today. Come to find out, my lug bolts that I have are too thick for the MB's.

I've read that the MB's need a 12mm wide lug and ours are 14mm? My question is, if that's the case, would the 12mm even screw into our hubs? I sure as fack hope so

Nvm, figured it out.

Just curious - what was the solution?

I have to bore out the lug hole on the wheel

So the actual threaded section of the lug bolt will not fit through the wheel? or is it stopping you up at the head of the bolt where it actually seats to the wheel?

The lugs I have currently will not physically pass through the lug holes on the MB's. I think the MB lug hole is 12mm and the bolts I have are 14mm

Gotcha, and sorry to say it, but it may be cheaper to just sell the wheels and maybe take the tires off. Having the wheels drilled out may cost a pretty penny and it needs to be done correctly, or you are risking your own life with those on your car.

I did a lot of research on this and from what I've seen, there isn't much problem with doing this yourself. I bought the correct drill bits and got to work, so far I've knocked out 3 wheels
