For me to put these wheels on my 90 mazda?



How do i get the center caps to work since i wont be able to use the chevy lugnuts with the threads on the outside of them? Ive only seen these wheels on one mazda personally and i cant get the guy to give me an answer on how to keep the center caps on.

Do i need to grind the tabs down on the hubs/axles? Anyone got pics of theirs grinded down?

Thanks for the help guys!

not to be obvious, but could you take your wheel and side by side the two? a good junkyard may possibly have those...

I have the wheels and center caps already. I know i have to either bore out the centers or grind the tabs down on the hubs and axles to get them to go on there. What i really want to know is how i get the center caps to work without the chevy lugnuts. The center caps are held on by the little plastic Lugnut caps on the center caps. I cant use the stock chevy lugs because they arent the correct thread for the mazda.

I dont really know what your sayin by doin a "side by side" with the wheels...

why not just get the smooth center caps? or do they not have them for that rim?

as nic just said, you can switch the center caps from alot of gmc/chevy wheels. even the regular 17 escalade caps are the same. you can find smooth caps on ebay all day long.
