go back to pep boys and get deeper nuts. OR...use the stockers and run the stock center caps. looks factory and custom all at the same time.

I like those caps. I hate those chrome caps that come with the Cragars.

Since we're Cragar whoring...

no, they just snap over the hex on the lug nuts.

To solve my lug nut depth issue i have open ends. Though my wheels did fit with stock lugs, i felt they were too close for comfort length wise. (stud bottoming out). I will be ditching my cragar center caps for some stockers soon.May paint them like FX4Want2B's too.
