^ Its inside the rim that would be damaging the rim also. My lug nuts goes inside of the rim and there is no room for play it doesnt stick out. Also the way the lug nuts are made it cant be done. Its completely rounded with basically no edges to grip on.

Sometimes I do the impossible.

If you got it done already, would you share with us how it was done?

If you didn't yet get it done, I'm willing to take a look at it....
get back with me.-Bob
