3 lugs on one rim, safe?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Ok, so as I was installing the last rim on my car I was taking off the stock rims and as I was taking off the last lug (it was pretty stuck), all of the sudden (as I was putting on pressure) it cracked off! I was like ohh S&^T! I still went ahead and put the rim on, but only attached 3 lugs. I tried putting the 4th but it wouldnt go on. What I want to know is, is it safe to drive with 3 lugs attached? All the others are fine and have thier 4 lugs. If you are confused, please see the attached picture. Notice that there are only 3 lugs.

no that is not safe....thats not enough to torque that rim into place so over time those other three lugs are going to come loose...order a lug from autozone or some sh*t or jus go by the honda dealership and pick one up :yes: :cool:

i would get that fixed asap. you might go aver a bump and bend the rim. the studs are only $2-5, but it will be a pain the rear to install the new one, if the hub assembly looks like on my accord

OK, thanks! I will stop by the Honda Dealer tomorrow and have it fixed. So it doesnt cost that much?

if that sh!t would have happened to me the dealer would have to do it. i don't feel like getting half of the car apart just for that.

Damn, I dont think I can do it myself and I am sure the dealer is going to charge a grip.

It doesn't matter, its just something that you have to get done.

Yeah enough said.....I wouldn't even drive my car like that.

you can find someone other then the dealer to do it.. Some one did my dads car, only charged him like 20$

for those with 5 lugs, with 4/5 you can survive..

but 3/4, thats a no-no..
