Thanks for the replies guys...

@Xinome: appreciate your help...hope you have fond ur dream home...

@kpzen: mine is a 100PCD adjusted to 98PCD in a local tire store, havnt had any problems there though, except for the nut part...

@Zak: you are gem of a guy. Nice detailed reply. Tell you what, I never realised the problem I am faciing, is this bad....Had thought, I just had to get a longer nut...Now it seems even worse...
I had stock steel wheels, which I replaced with these alloys. I did an upsize from 13" to 14", so my new tires wont fit my steel rims. Also, I love my alloys, cant get rid of them. So planning to take te risk of running on "not properly" screwed in nuts.
I have been running on these for almost 20K now...I manage by not taking more than 3 people in the car...

Zak, I go to Cochin almost every weekend, will give you a ring next time I am there.
