I want to put my hubcaps on but I have different lugs now so they won't attach

Straightened my projectors because they were loose and decided to pivot 10* lol and popped my sidemarker in because it decided to warp and fall out.So I somehow managed to get it to pop back in.

Just get some nice aftermarket covers like i did. I couldn't use stock covers even if i had the right lugs.
Since ny wheels are aftermarket steelies using the tunner lugs.

I like the look of the hubcaps on mine. Come spring my 16's are going black. The black wheels on a red car looks so nice.

If you didn't mark the stock cutoff the only way to get them right is to temporarily mount them and put them on the car and test, tweak, test, tweak until you get it right. Then epoxy them in place.

I would use nuts and bolts to aim them and then the epoxy to set them once it's perfect. You can also make them the same depth during that process.
