Couldn't Get Winter Wheels On

Hi Guys,

I just bought a used winter setup. I went to put them on this weekend and they didn't fit. There are 5 bolts and also a guide pin(?) between 2 of them. I could no get the wheels on because the guide pin was getting obstructed. Seemed like I would need to drill out some of the wheel.

Can anyone enlighten me to what the guide pin is for? And do many wheels have this clearance issue w/ the guide pin?

Any help or info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Take the pin out with a 12 mm socket or wrench.

Then proceed to hit yourself in the head with the socket or wrench for not realizing how easy it was.
