Unhappy Wheel Spacers have wrong Studs

Well the Wheel Spacers I thought I got a great deal on will not work on my ram with out re-drilling the holes and putting bigger wheel studs in. Now I am trying to decide if I try haveing that done or selling them to recover my $100 that I spent. Any buddy know anyone that would use these?

What's wrong with the studs? Not long enough? I would contact the seller you pbought them from and either get a refund or an exchange since it would be their fault. You got them from Ebay if i remember correctly right???

What size are they and what exactly nees to be done? Just bang the old studs out and install new one's? it's harder than it seems unless you have a press. If the studs are just different threads than your lug nuts now, just go buy new lug nuts that match the wheel spacers threads! Ofcourse the acorn nuts they sent you will have to be your style thread, so all in all, you will need 20 acorns of your thread and 20 acorns nuts that fit the spacers threads which you should already have.

ahhhh. I would just cut your losses and sell them. I would buy the right one's preferably new so you could exchange them if need be. Also get Hubcentric while your at it. Much safer and reliable spacer.
