Wheel spacer question

[MtnDewd]

I recently purchased wheel spacers for my 2005 Sport Edition T4R. The rear spacers installed w/out a hitch, but I noticed the front the lug-nuts only went on about halfway. Have any of you had to replace your front wheel studs to run spacers? Thanks!

Depends on the spacers you bought. Most come with new studs pressed into the spacer and that's it. Bolt it down to the stock studs, put the wheel back onto the new studs. To me it sounds like you might have just bought spacers with no studs?

No,they have studs...the existing front studs are too short.

Are the wheel spacers you got Hub-Centric?

Nope. I bought them off of eBay from a company that has sold almost 800 sets with no negative feedback. I figured that everyone was happy, they must be good??
