So the other day i was doing something or other on the car and i managed to foul the threads on one of the rear lugs and got the nut stuck on there. I ended up just breaking the whole lug off with a breaker bar. The question is, how much of a problem do you think it would be to run with 4/5ths of my lugs? Personally, i dont see much of a problem with it, but i still want some opinions.

well thats 80% if you did everything 80% we'd be thrilled.....
back in the day some of the race teams used to run 4 out of 5 lugs, its 20% faster in the pits |
I PERSONALLY would not due this. You have increased the load to the other studs.

You are such a Studbreaker..

temp. its okay.... you really only need 3 on to keep the wheel from falling off
i would say running with 4/5 is okay for a trip to the dealer/auto store to get a new lug, and then a trip back home to install it however i did drive to canada in my mr2 witn only 4 lugs on one wheel i dont think it matterd ---- 4 should be fine - just fix it when u get a chance |
You are the first 5lug - 4 lug conversion I have heard of! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

you guys are crazy. changing out those lugs is a real pain in the ass though, and i dont feel like paying the dealer to do it, you know? I suppose ill get around to it a few months from now. Ive been driving it like this since last winter anyway https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png |
any Tire shop can do it inless than 10 min for about $20.00
