HLX Alloys on an HGT

Ok so got a funny buldge in one of my tyres on my HGT alloys today, was helping someone move so went home and though i'll throw on one of those mk1 HLX alloys i have, but i couldnt get the damm things to fit right.

Now i'm thinking that the mk2 HGT alloys have a deep resses that the locating pins fit into, as these would need to be longer than standard for them to fit into the larger space saver. I couldnt find my spanners, and didnt have a socket deep enough to hand to take them off as it was pissing it down and i was soaked through. I put on another Hgt alloy i had which is slightly buckled and leaking to get me through the day.

Can anyone she;d some light on this?

It was the front wheel, can get the HLX alloys to fit on the back no problems.

use an 11mm spanner to remove the locating pin (they're pointless) then it will fit.

Cheers Jug as usual you answer all, glad i too now can answer a few questions on here as well!
