Good day to all of u !!
i am seriusly consider  to buy a set of 17'' after market rims and to put some M/T tires. instead of the 18'' with pirellis which i hv now, and to change weels when i have ''bad'' intentions  fr play.
So the questions are...is there any problem if i frequent (say twice per month) change frm 18'' to 17'' ?? i.e possible damages of weel nuts/screws
etc...????
anybody with such on/off experience ???
thanks
jacob

I change mine regularly, no problems so far. Normally put a bit of copper grease on the threads, always check the nuts don't cross-thread and torque them up (to 140Nn) correctly The End

no problems so far, just don't expect the supplied jack to stand up to frequent changes

Yep, get yourself a decent trolley or bottle jack for regular use, quicker than the standard scissor thing too The End

Buy yourself one of those 12V rattle guns to undo the nuts. It will make removing the nuts much quicker.
Don't use it to do them up though - do that by hand.
