Re: Another kick in the Lugnuts

Without seeing what you actually have, it sounds to me like you bought "smoothie" wheels and have hubcaps for 8-lug wheels that mount with inside clips. If you had 1/2t that pop over nubs and you'd be talking about a lot more than difference in diameter. There would obvious there is no provision to even mount those caps on those wheels. Smoothies use inside nubs and take special hubcaps that only fit smoothie, or other custom wheel vintiques products like their rallye wheels. 3/4t/1t factory hubcaps also mount inside the ridge around the lug nuts, same as smoothies, but use clips and a larger diameter ridge. Nub and clip style hubcaps look the same on the front
