Good thing I'm not a gambler, I would have had my knee caps broken if I were, I can't win at anything. There can't be any other explanation other than someone put a hex on me . I finally got my new tires and replacement rims (first set were delivered damaged) Forced balanced and mounted to each other, wow they look awesome  I'm telling you, those 390 Cragers with the spinners are gorgeous. I got the right spacers (in case I need them) and the correct lugs to match. No matter how many questions I asked, or the parts ordered to prevent any problem, and the assurance from Jeg's the   didn't fit . The rim hits the caliper, and if I use the spacers the studs are then to short for the lugs to take a safe hold . No new rims for this baby. I'm done.

What a bummer.  Before you give up call Jegs back and tell them what happened.  They may make it right yet, and they may learn something in the process.

Jeg's is aware of all that occured. They sent the damaged rims, they told me the rims would fit. They're going to credit me, but their supervisor Rusty said I've should have known better than them.

You should have know better than them?  About their product?  That's an insult to any customer anywhere.  Send them back and call Summit.

Vette(s): Picked it up and it running good now. Just need to do a few more things and she will be 100 percent.

I second this one. Also go to www.tirerack.com and look up your car for the correct backspacing etc. and compare that to what Summit says. Good luck and don't give up, it will all work out. Summit is just as price competative as anyone else.

They're on the way back, I can assure you I'll never do business with them again.
