Bought a set of starcorps but my wheel nuts are too big for em
For those that know em, ill be taking the car to bridgestone bentley for the alignment/balance, would they have narrower wheel nuts or spline nuts in stock? if not, where would?

when you tighten the nuts or loosen them, you might take off some of the paint
