Really Quick Question!!!

apparently, someone tried stealing my front wheel... I thought it was the shop I brought it too.. it wasn't.

SO... I need to make an hour drive in the evo tonight but on my front wheel, I have 3 tight lug nuts (wheel lock got loose somehow.. god knows how) so I can't tighten the wheel lock because I magically don't have it for some reason. I havn't ever touched my jack bag until like 3 days ago so I don't know what happened to it.

My question is, Can I take a lug from another wheel and put it on there so that way I will have only 4 lugs on 2 wheels?? should be ok right?? I'm waiting for some lugs right now but I HAVE to drive my car.. I have no choice tonight SO.. any quick answers????

I would not drive my car in that condition. Can't be worth the possible damage bill if the wheel does pop off.

If you're going to do that, put 4 lugs on the rears and keep 5 on the front.

If ur simply cruising one lugnet missing isn't dangerous at all. Just torque them correctly and right order. No need to check every 10mins, but just get them back on asap
