lugnut/wheel lock problems

[dmw319]

Ok, so i tried installing these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEAFB%3AIT

on my 00 camaro today and once you screw them in about 2-3 treads they are tight as anything, but no where near flush. so after overtightening them my wheel wasnt all the way on, so i drove it up to a tire place right by my house and they had to install all 4 screws cuz mine were stripped. i only did that front tire, and the back left, which once i got the wheel lock lug on, now i cant get it off, and its stuck on there till monday when the shop i take my car to opens back up..

if 12mm x 1.25 is the right size. why do they not fit? and aren't you only supposed to have one wheel lock lug per wheel? thanks

My parts manual says 12x1.5

Not sure about the size, but i use lockers on all lugs, that way it takes longer to steal them. :D

Another reason I hate E-Bay. Dude, go to a tire shop or parts store for simple stuff like this.
Even the dealer is better.

Go local dude. Drive to a shop & ask.

id say ur gonna need new wheel studs on the ones you put those one cuz it probably destroyed the threads...no big deal tho....a tire shop cross threaded my right front locking nut when i was putting on my C5s...it took about 2 minutes to change

[dmw319]

yea they had to replace all 4 of the ones i stripped.
