For those with Racing Hart wheels

I picked up a set of 19x8 Racing Hart 3pc C5's. +50 offset so they fit great but for one problem.

The center cap seems to sit on top of the lug nuts, so it will not sit flush onto the face of the wheel. I went to my local autoparts store and they had nothing to solve my "height" issue with the nuts. Is there something specifically I need to get, or am I doing something wrong?

I'll post pictures if I need to, but I imagine that a few of you experienced the same thing.

Thanks much

Ryan

May need to buy different shaped lug nuts. Are you using stocks ones or ones that came with the rims?

my C2's had the same problem. you need some locking lugnuts that allow the stud to pass through.

you need some like that, they can be found at most local autopart stores.(pepboys, autozone, etc)

Thanks guys! That seemed like the right thing to do, although I've been more frustrated with how much I'm going to have to clean and polish these wheels to have them lookin' right again.
