Ya so I went about cutting the tabs off the hubs instead of having them machined out. The fronts were easy as hell but the tabs on the rear axle were thick as theives and I ended up cutting them with a sawzall and grinding it flat. Whoever said it takes 15-20 min is kidding themselves, I spent a good 1.5 hrs on it. I had to press 4 of the 6 lugs out of each hub to get the tools in there as well.
But anyway that came out fine but I went to bolt them up and the mazda lugnuts dont fit at all! Theyre way too small and fall inside the hole until the tips of the hex on the nut scrape the inside of the mounting holes.
What nuts are people using? What i saw didnt look safe at all. Right now I have 3 mazda nuts on and 3 S10 nuts because the S10 had a wider acorn on them but they still really didnt fit that great. Id hate to go out and buy Esca nuts, theyd be $$$.
