    They fit perfectly before but I just installed the spindles and now the lug nuts don't go all yhe way down. The rear is fine so I know it's not the wheels.

    •3” front blocks •2” steel rear blocks •1.25" spidertrax spacers for clearance •285/70/17 (33's) Ko2's •20% tint
    Do i need spacers to fit the stock 17 inch wheels with the spindles? I put them on with 1.25 inch spacers and it seems like it would be cutting it close without them.

    Something is wrong then, rim hitting spindle & not letting it go on all the way possibly?
    The spindles don't change anything with the studs. What size rim do you have?
    You need a rim with a max backspace of 4.75" any more than that & you'll need a spacer. The factory rims have more than 4.75", I'm not sure of the actual backspace on factory rims. So to answer your question, yes you'll need spacers.

    If you didn't need longer studs before no reason you should now, spindles dont
    Look you took the hub out of the stock spindles and put them into the maxtrac spindles, this has no effect on the stud length. If you have 4.5" bs wheels and you are putting them seated to the rotor then there should be no change.

    Plus what you're saying doesn't make sense. If the lugnuts don't go all the way down, longer studs would make that worse. Do the lug nuts seat against the wheel? How about some pics?

    I agree with @SpruceTaco - Somethings not right (obviously)

    What are the specs on your wheels?

    Dang, they should be working fine. Is there any play when you put the wheel on there?

    To me it looks like you have the lugs in backward, the conical portion of the lug should seat down into the wheel. The pic for the front is showing the conical portion pointing out. Also are your wheels hub centric or lug centric, if the latter you need to fiddle with the wheel a bit while getting all the lugs to seat conical side in.

    more threads on the lug nuts won't help if it's just a matter of the fact that the ones you have on there are backwards
