Wheel help!

[Saleen836]

I have just had my wheels refurbed and today I took them to have new tyres fitted, got back home and started to refit the wheels to the car, first three wheels are back on no problem but the last wheel is where the problem lays the wheel nuts will not go in to the opening!
Is it a case of going back to the refurb place and getting them to sort it or is it a case of it is now my problem and I have to deal with it?

just clear the paint out of the bolt hole with a file. It wont take a lot to shift.

Yes they will sort it. Sounds like they've sprayed the threads as well.

Also try using nuts from the other wheels. Sometimes components with very small tolerances accept some but not other examples of what should be the exact same thing! And it's always they last one that won't fit...

For the sake of 5 mins, worth a go.

It might not but what is more likely to happen is I ruin the freshly refurbed wheel!

The socket I used to remove the nuts wont even fit in the hole so no point trying any other nuts, looks like I have a 2 hour round trip for them to sort it!
