i lost my wheel?? i gotta figure out how im getting home
completely PLASTERED last night i ended up with 5 people in my XJ stuck at wawa. wheel completely falls off. It probably has something to do with my offset because the wheels with their offsets dont have much stud to grab when i install the lugnuts.
....and my wheel falls off my left rear falls off the truck in a wawa parking lot. im not drunk driving my girl was and it was terrible she was buckin and grindin the little BA10 puegeot turdbox so bad it must have worked its way off or something i took it offroad twice already with no issues.
What do i do im 70 miles away from my tools, and most shops are closed. I have NAPA and conway autoparts and dont feel like paying for a tow.
edit: i know how to change a tire and i dont have wheel spacers. im not retarded.

If nothing is damaged install the wheel using some lug nuts from the other 3 wheels until you get some replacements. You carry a jack and lug wrench of course, right?

For the record I'm just screwing with you man. Appears you've learned the hard way that when adding wheel spacers its best to go with a longer lug stud. Ideally its best to press them in but you can do them in the driveway, your just going to want make sure you torque them down correctly and recheck the torque a few times over the next couple weeks to make sure they seat. If your planning on keeping the spacers get longer studs.
