The mean green machine is back.
Hey everyone. I know I have been talking about my rims and tires for awhile... I finally got them bitches on!!! The back is rubbing alittle. How do you guys shave the inside off alittle? Anyone wanta help me out? I couldn't put the center cap on yet because my lug nuts are to big. Once I get new lug nuts I will put the center caps on.

If you want to try cutting the fender tabs yourself. Look on the inner portion of the rear bumper. You will notice a "tab" that protrudes out a bit further than the rest of the plastic from the bumper. You can take a dremel or some metal shears to cut it off. Just make sure it is plastic that you're cutting not metal.

I am ashame to say it..... It's the racing harts knockoffs. Imma put the caps on once I get new lug nuts. The ones I have now is to long and it won't let me snap on the cap.

I have another problem guys. I accidently broke off one of the tabs that is on the center cap. Any one know where I can buy a center cap from? I was thinking about trying the hot glue gun to fix it. I don't that is strength enough to keep it attached.
Here is the pic:
It has four tabs. One of them are broken.
