    Changing lugs - jack or not?

    Hi guys

    Looking to purchase a set of JC-Project racing nuts. Was wondering when changing lugs only, is it advised to jack up the car?

    Much appreciated

    Just change them one at a time and you won't have to jack the car up.

    Is that going to be an issue? They are EP3R rims fitted on a DC5R

    Yes it is. OEM wheels have a ball seat, whereas the aftermarket nuts are tapered in design. You should not mix the two
