Hope yall like it. Haven't driven it yet so I don't know how they feel yet.

So I put my rims on and everything yesterday. I try to drive it today but the car won't move. Usually when I take off the e-brake the car lowers a little bit but it doesn't happen now. What did I do wrong or what's the problem?

rear lug bolts may be too long - check your offset etc.

Make sure you are using appropriately-sized hardware. When going for a different setup from OEM, different wheels have different offsets, etc., so you MUST use appropriately sized hardware. Too short of lugnuts would result in not being able to have enough "turns" - thus the likelihood of it becoming loose during driving, or even worse, coming off altogether. Too long of lugnuts - well, then you are hitting something and that won't work either.

Jack your car up, and spin the wheel manually - if you hear a clickety-clack sound, that means the lugs you used are too long - so remove immediately and get appropriate hardware.

I believe their too long. What is the correct size for lug nuts?

You will need alignment bad! The rear caster seems to be off.

Anyway, cool rims on a clean 202! Color matched trims and aprons seem to do the job!

I took off the lugs from the rear and the car seems to be able to drive now but on lug is stuck and won't come off. Anything I could put on it?

Put the stock rims back on the the rear right seems to have a noise coming from the brakes.... what did i do wrong now :(

The noise from the rear brakes is probably the parking brake that gets messed up when you use bolts that are too long... did you change them yet?

I have the regular lugs on with the stock rims. But it seems like I hit something outta place because when i drive there is this scraping noise coming from the rear right disc rotor. What should i be looking for?

What specifically on the parking brake does the bolt hit when it goes in too deep? Is it difficult to fix?

Do you know of a good place to get shorter bolts?
