Default zr1 lugs

Has anyone had issues with zr1s where the lug wells are so deep once you get in there your socket has rubbed the wheel and scraped it? I got the Factory Reproduction brand with their lugs and there's no way to avoid it to get them tight. Smaller lugs is all I can think of to do but can't reverse the minor scrapes already on there

I had the same issue with my zr1's and i ended up finding a very thinwall socket from Mac Tools that works perfectly. Im sure you can find them at many auto parts stores. Hope that helps.

I can prolly find one I don't want you to have to go thru that hassle. I'm you scraped ures in the same places. I'm a neat freak and like to keep everything like new so it just bugs me knowing that happened even though its really not noticeable
