lug bolts are too long and are caught up in the E brake.. most likely

if you were able to drive it and did break the Ebrake you could need a new hub assembly$$$

No did not drive it when I felt the least resistance, I was unsure if the wheel would fit so I was being real carefull and listining as I backed up. I have ordered some shorter bolts now and should be on the road real soon. I still have quite a bit to learn about these cars, but they sure are nice. Thanks for the replys, Kevin
