jack it up and give everything a good clean if you have the spare time, good excuse to check your brake pad life

there should be a squeal clip and when your pads are low it will scrape the disc

wow that's a good point :O that never even crossed my mind...anyone know if the EP3R rims are tapered, ball radius or flat?

EP3R's is ball seat.....

Hope that helps...

Are there any coloured lugs with locks that are ball seats? All the ones I know are tapered.

Can consider getting an adapter. its like a washer/spacer before tightening your nut...

Jacking it up is better because it'll seat up better. You don't want to risk it since it's the moving part which the car sits on.

Just dont be lazy because it's just called being careless.

It will already be seated properly.
