I think it was my fault. when I painted the wheels I might have forgotten to make sure they were tighten enough and that same wheel almost came off the car( the lugs came off While driving). Im thinking the studs got hurt then. I just ordered new Ichiba studs,So I hope it was my fault so I dont have to worry about it anymore.

We put lots and lots of 2x4's and jacked the trailer from the hinge as high as we could. That's the only reason I called my friend with his trailer and not a flat bed. I wanted to make sure we took our time to get it up there without messing it up.. He brought a load of 2x4's
My right oil cooler is about 1.5" from the floor

Sucks but glad it all worked out. It's so funny to see such a clean car on such a POS trailer , but as long as it does the job right.
