Yes, it's just a tighter space. Why can't you take off your wheels?

Well, tuner lugs came on my car, and Tyler broke the lug key off inside of one of the lugs, so one lug has half a key in it, and I have no key.

you will want to get a key or replace those lug nuts, you'll regret not doing it when u need that wheel off.

try autozone, pepboys, etc for a key.

take your car to discount tire. they will have the lug key.

thats what i did and they gave me the key for free. you should get that before it turns into a real problem.

That's what I did with mine when the thieves stole it and bent the stud.
ON MY KICS SPACER.

Now I can't find a fucking stud that fits the spacer.. for the life of me.
Shit.
