Lol, I don't have that problem, my garage/driveway is my trucks shop :P There isn't a job that my truck would ever need done that I won't do myself.

But anyway, when you get her back, check to see if the back lip of the rim is over the knuckle or outside the knuckle, and measure from the upper balljoint to the inside of the rim, and see if its more than 4 inches... my guess is that it won't be.

I personally wouldn't go more than a quarter inch on the factory lugs. You can get longer lugs, and go with a half inch or so. The 1 inch and bigger come with their own lugs, and that is probably what you'd need anyway. I'd say the cheapest place would be ebay, but like you said, those things aren't cheap.
