Put them on last night. Look great, very pleased to say the least. I put them on using my spare jack which sucked. But the stock lug wrench wouldn't fit in the space provided by the rim, to tighten/loosen the lugs. So I went and got my 3/8ths wrench and a socket to use. Everything was fine and dandy. I went and adjusted the air pressure in each one and was on my way to store my E1's. While driving down the road I start to hear this clunk clunk clunk flop flop flop sound. I was petrified! I thought I got deuched on bad used tires. So I pull over, expecting to have to do a full switch back to the E1's right there, and to my surprise no flats!. So I look under the car for anything dragging or rubbing and can't find anything. By this time I am so scared and clueless that I am ready to shoot myself. Well after many trials of looking around for something out of place, I decide to put the E1's back on just to be safe. As I go to loosen the lugs I notice, holy sh!t they're already loose! I had forgotten to re-tighten the lugs after lowering each wheel to the ground. The funny thing is that Mark (Y2KSVT) told me to do this before I left and I forgot. So I went around and tightened each lug as tight as I could with the 3/8ths wrench and problem solved.
Everything has been smooth sailing since then and I am very relieved. But there is a question to all of this jibberish. I weigh 155 lbs and am about 5"9' in height, I exercise regularly and am pretty strong for my size. With me pulling as hard as I can on that wrench for each lug(no extension used) , will they be too tight or too loose still? I will get these balanced soon but until then I don't want to f**k anything up. I don't have a torque wrench so this will have to do until I take it somewhere. Any comments? But they look sooo nice. Basically identical to the pics above, but on a black SVT w/no spoiler and tinted windows.
