yeah so you need longer studs because with the spacers you may not have enough thread for you lugs to grab.


You should have gotten the spacers with the built in studs if available in that size.


but its a quick fix just buy extended studs and hammer out your old ones and use the washer and open nut technique to pull them through or borrow one of those special tools to do it

The studs included should be the ones you need, if they sent you the wrong studs contact the vendor.
B2Autodesigns is great vendor on our site. Contact them and ask for Charles, he'll be happy to check out your situation.

Yea, I think they are great, I just don't know why my shop told me that, I needed longer studs, I didn't want to test fit them because If I did, then I won't be able to return them.

Maybe someone can chime in and tell you how long the OEM studs are (I don't have that info at the moment) then all you'll need to do is measure the ones that came w/ the spacer to verify if they're the correct length. Or you can just contact Charles @ B2 Autodesigns and he should be able to tell you the exact length of the studs that are supposed to come w/ the kit. They sell hundreds of these spacers so he knows his stuff, probably much more than the place doing the install.

I have an idea: Take off a wheel, measure, compare to spacer.
