In a pinch, you can tap the lug nuts very gently with a hammer to run them down the thread. Saw it on One Car Too Far!

How you would have a hammer and not some sort of lug wrench, is odd lol. Be one hell of a pinch.

shimz be for when youz haz a slip yoke eliminator. Get a tc drop if you cant afford a sye. TC drops blow but they will suffice for a while.
