I got my new 15x3.5 skinnyWeld Draglites in today. Well guess what, They will not fit my car. WTF. The lug pattern is perfect. The lugs are the problem. When I put them on the car the lugs will not come through the wheel. I still need another 1 inch or so. What's going on? Has anybody ran into this and What can I do to fix the problem?

Sure its the right bolt pattern? If its stock up front should be 4x4.25 bolt pattern. 5 lug is normally 5x4.5 bolt pattern.

They fit the lugs perfectly, the lugs just aren't long enough to come through the holes. I need another inch in order to put the lugs on.

did you get the right lug nuts welds have to have the ones that go through the rim

ZachW04Stang

Yeah sounds like your trying to use wrong lugs like military mustang said.

You need lugnuts like this:

I Didn't think about that. My back wheels had the studs long enough to come through the wheels. I guess I'll need to buy lugs now. Well Hell. I wish I had thought about that. I wanted to drive the car tonight.

I have the exact same type of wheels that you have.

Buy enough for all 4 wheels. Just because the studs come out far enough in the rear to thread on a acorn nut, doesn't mean you should use it. You need shank style and washers on all the wheels.

I have larger studs in the rear, They are way larger then the stock ones. That would explain my problem
