Angry Snaped wheel spacer stud (ALL-Pro)

I got a pair of All Pro 1.5 wheel spacers. Gives the vehicle a nice stance but the wheel studs on the adaptor are questionable....

Installation of the spacers to the hub went perfect torqued the inner nuts to the suggested 90 ft/lbs. Then I installed my wheels (steel rims) torqued them to 85 ft/lbs using a quality accurate SnapOn torque wrench. (I might add I come from a family of journeyman mechanics and I def know what Im talking about). The installation and torque sequence was correct. I felt a little bit of stretch in some of the studs while torqueing them down which concerned me a little. Several weeks latter I got a set of new tires. I re-checked the adaptors while the wheels where off, and all the torque values were fine. Upon re-installation of the wheels, I felt a little bit of stretch in the studs again. But to my surprise ONE OF THE Studs ACTUALY SNAPPED OFF!!!!!!

I contacted ALL Pro to see if I could get some replacement studs and they said they will just send me a whole new spacer free of change. I asked what grade the studs are that they use and they couldn't answer the question because the spacers are NOT made by them. I asked the All pro rep if anyone else has had this problem and she said yes....

I just wanted to share this and see if anyone else has encountered this problem. Maybe I can find some higher quality studs that can take the place of the current ones idk.....

Thanks guys
