Quick help please! Just a quick question!

I'm trying to get my Bullits put on my car but no one will put them. They say the bolt pattern is 5x114 and ours is 5x115...I know this but ive had these on my car as many others have. Are they really not supposed to go on???
 


They will work fine. Don't tell the place they are mustang rims and just say you have a set of rims that need put on.
 
I knew they worked cuz I've had them on before but they said because they won't torque correctly with not being the right bolt pattern that its a liability and won't do it. I finally found a place that will and I'm here I just hope they don't change their minds when they start doing it.

On a side note... Do the factory center caps for the Bullits?
 
Put them on the car yourself. Problem solved. And no, our centercaps wont fit. Get an overlay from reflective concepts for the stang caps.
 


^This^. Just take the wheels and tires you need mounted, take them up to a shop and have them mounted/balanced. Then go back home w/ 4 new wheels and install. Then set back and enjoy. No need to tell them what they are going on.
 
I have never changed a tire, I have roadside assistance for that. Ok call me girly but that's one thing I've never done. I finally found a shop that day after trying 5 or 6...
 
Being "girly" and having a SN of Nikki, I'm going to figure you may be a woman and might not possess the strength to change out tires and jack up the car. It's fine... we tend to assume the opposite around here. We figure everyone can work on their cars.

Glad you found a place. Meanwhile, you should periodically have the torque checked on those wheels. Being the wrong bolt pattern, they don't sit properly and the lugs can loosen with time. A quick check up and you'll know they aren't going to cause you problems.
 


once you do, take pictures of that facepalm and your "why didnt i do this before?" expression.
 
You guys are too funny! Im not weak that's not the issue there are just certain parts of a car I'd rather not mess with for safety reasons ;)

most times you will be able to put the wheels on the car better than the guy at the shop. My wife before she met me, had new brakes pads and tires installed and drove about 4 miles before the wheel fell off. the shop didn't tighten them.

when it comes to safety I usually make sure I do it myself that way I not concerned over who touched my car. however we do have a G6 that is still under warranty and oh I love making the stealership take it back to fix stuff they did wrong after a warranty claim. lol
