  • Question about changing tire w/eagle 077 wheel

    I just recently got eagle 077 put on, but the problem is when i went back home and used the gm wrench given to change tires, the wrench doesn't even fit through the wholes, and i can't even get to my lug nuts, anyone know of something that can fit and where i can buy it(sorry about wrong use of terms, but its early, at least for me)

    on my eagle 185's my its the same way. the old tire iron doesnt fit in the holes (keep in mind that this makes the iron useless for putting on your spare....) You need to just go get a socked thin enough to fit in the holes which fits the lugs and use a big ratchet or an air wrench to get them off. The on i have is a tight fit but with a little muscle it works just fine. (also, be careful not to scratch your wheels up when messing aorund with it if theyre polished aluminum)

      When i bought my 077 eagle wheels, I asked for the socket and they gave me one that was made just for that wheel. Regular sockets dont fit.
