    So I will be calling Lenny on Monday. Because of the extra long shank on the stud where it presses in it is not allowing the wheel to make full contact with the spacer face. This puts all stress on the studs instead of on distributing it across the face of the spacer. A Toyota tech and a mechanic both state that is unsafe to run them this way. Hopefully we can figure something out. egy9a6ah_3531c40778e25fd18726fbac6e3d4ae5992f9f7a.jpg

    Yea that's definitely not how mine looked. 100% sure. I'm sure Lenny will apologize and send you new ones. You might even get a shirt out of this..

    Did you order .75" spacers? If you did that will give me some piece of mind that they just have the wrong studs in them.

    I was fine until I put these spaces on. No i am all over the firewall and my Cab mount again. You just gotta cut 2 inches out of the fenders, bash the firewall, and then demolish your cab mount to fit them.

    Nah but there is no way the non threaded part should extend past the spacer like that. I got 1.5". Definitely not right IMO. If you think about it when the lug nuts are fully tightened they would be almost touching spacer.

    Spoke to Lenny this morning and it appears they put the wrong length studs into them. He is mailing me a new set today and a return label for the one's I have. Stand up customer service for sure.

    Thanks!

    Just for fun I'll add this... Idiots at wheel works SJ destroyed two lugs on my spacers. Ended up replacing them myself... Was pretty easy. Here is the 1.25" with new 3.75" bs wheels and 33x12.5:

    And this is one of the lugs the dude effed up:
