FITTING NEW WHEELS
Wheels, as you well know, make the FC world go round. So much so that everyone’s got sweet hoops in the modified car universe; a car’s just not modified without ‘em, right? It’s a bit like lowering in that respect.
The thing is many of you, along with a few of our own team, may think that we’re taking the Flanagan a tad with a feature on how to bolt on your new wheels. We totally get that too, but you’ll be amazed how many, including some professional mechanics that are used to the standard stuff, don’t follow the correct procedure to the letter. To be honest, I’m not adverse to hoofing up wheels with a big bar myself, but that young padawans is just not the way of the force.
The short of it is that this is perhaps the most important DIY Day Job of them all – pretty much anyone can pop on a set of wheels; it’s just doing it the right way that’s the trick.
So, here we go then, the proper way to fit your sparkly new rims…
DO IT!
1 LOOSEN YOUR NUTS
