Dealership unable to rotate tires

[Deleted member 12951]

Brought truck in for rotation with 17" Method Standards. Said their sockets are not thin walled enough to take off lugs.

Is this a common dealership issue?

Better they say no, before they try and screw up your wheels or lugs...

Not mine, a friends

 

[Jimbo]

Yes, a normal socket won't fit. I'm sure someone there has a thin-walled, but maybe not.

why does your friend have stock lugs on method wheels? Dealership is right as stock lugs on method wheels makes for little or no room to get a socket in there. This is why method wheels takes a spline driven lug nuts

a thin wall socket may work but I don't see how he even mounted them to begin with.

Hennessey is the ones that installed the wheels. This is the first tire rotation. So these are not method lugs?

Those are the stockers. If you need a set of lugs, I have some from my Methods that I'm not going to use, as I went with a set from @Rookie. Let me know and I can ship them out tomorrow.

I don't think so....I bought a set of black ones when I got the wheels from TMX.
