Ever had a hard time getting those newly painted rims and tires back on without scratching the new paint ? Or just fighting holding the rim in place to get the lug bolts started? Well a little tip that I came up with was to take one of lug bolts down to your local hardware store and get 2 or 3 2 1/2 to 3 inch fine threaded bolt of the correct size . When you get home cut the heads off the bolts
and thread into the hub just finger tight. Use these to hold rim in place and start a couple of the lug bolts remove the “studs” install the rest of the lug bolts.
Some of you may already do this but thought I would throw this out there.

That’ll make it way easier, especially when they are loaded tires!

I put bolts in from the back side of the hub and use lug nuts. Few others here do as well. Unless your going for an original resto.

Great tip and great idea, thanks for passing this along.
