Default idiot question

umm, i have a 96 civic, had the hub caps off my car for like a year, gonna sell the car so i'm trying to put them back on and for some reason, they don't seem to snap tight like before.... dunno if i'm doin somethin wrong or what? wouldn;t think you'd have to take off the lug nuts to put them on would you? don't remember....

yeah you do have to take off the lug nuts. the plastic washer on the nut holds the hub cap tight

Exactly, the only thing that holds on honda hub caps are the lug nuts
