Thread: Quick help please! Just a quick question!

I'm trying to get my Bullits put on my car but no one will put them. They say the bolt pattern is 5x114 and ours is 5x115...I know this but ive had these on my car as many others have. Are they really not supposed to go on???

Tons of people run them, look around the forum. Our cars can run the 114.

They will work fine. Don't tell the place they are mustang rims and just say you have a set of rims that need put on.

114.3 is the mustang bolt pattern.....115 is .7 mm off. they are idiots lol

I knew they worked cuz I've had them on before but they said because they won't torque correctly with not being the right bolt pattern that its a liability and won't do it. I finally found a place that will and I'm here I just hope they don't change their minds when they start doing it.

On a side note... Do the factory center caps for the Bullits?

Put them on the car yourself. Problem solved. And no, our centercaps wont fit. Get an overlay from reflective concepts for the stang caps.

yeah really. Why do you need a shop to put them on?

I have never changed a tire, I have roadside assistance for that. Ok call me girly but that's one thing I've never done. I finally found a shop that day after trying 5 or 6...

google how to remove wheels. that simple.

Being "girly" and having a SN of Nikki, I'm going to figure you may be a woman and might not possess the strength to change out tires and jack up the car. It's fine... we tend to assume the opposite around here. We figure everyone can work on their cars.

Glad you found a place. Meanwhile, you should periodically have the torque checked on those wheels. Being the wrong bolt pattern, they don't sit properly and the lugs can loosen with time. A quick check up and you'll know they aren't going to cause you problems.

I may have the nerve to remove the wheels one day as I'd like to paint the calipers but not just yet

once you do, take pictures of that facepalm and your "why didnt i do this before?" expression.

Then send Odi the "I broke my back loosening a lug nut" bill.

My bad, didnt notice you were a girl.. sorry.
I can understand. Bullits are for one not a light wheel anyways.

You guys are too funny! Im not weak that's not the issue there are just certain parts of a car I'd rather not mess with for safety reasons

so you are a girl right? you never really told us yes or no

YES! lol

most times you will be able to put the wheels on the car better than the guy at the shop. My wife before she met me, had new brakes pads and tires installed and drove about 4 miles before the wheel fell off. the shop didn't tighten them.

when it comes to safety I usually make sure I do it myself that way I not concerned over who touched my car. however we do have a G6 that is still under warranty and oh I love making the stealership take it back to fix stuff they did wrong after a warranty claim. lol
