Default NEED QUICK HELP (AT WATERFEST)

2000 S4, switched wheels back to stock on friends car because his 19s are too big for the track. Now the car will not move forward or backwards, feels like the e-brake is locked up. Any help or ideas?

Default Here's my problem at WATERFEST

the lug bolts are from my s4 without spacers... i really dont think they'd be too long, i dont have this problem on my car. Also, after taking the wheel off, we tried spinning the rotor itself, and it wouldnt budge...

If the e brake is locked the front should still spin?

Default Sending link to a friend of mine that had the same issue.

Using longer lub bolts = not good.

Default back out the front lugs a few threads, so theyre just barely threaded...

then try to move the car a few inches or so...if it still wont move, long bolts are obviously not the problem.

but i do think its the lug bolts.

Default I agree with everyone else. Lugs bolts are too long or you over tightened them

90 ft/lbs is not a lot
