Just a cautionary tale...
I finished swapping in an 8 1/4 into my duster just in time for a quick trip to the Pinacles National park last week. About half an hour out on a busy highway the car started shaking violently and making a horrible driveline noise. No where safe to stop so we limped to the nearest less sketchy place only to find one loose lug nut holding on the left rear wheel. Fortunately it held long enough and we didn't wreck. I was able to borrow some nuts from the other wheels and make it to an O'riles. Now i'm paranoid, which is a good thing I guess. Also I got to test out the jack, which looked super sketchy but worked.
