          in hindsight, i saw one previous post where it was mentioned but does anyone have a solution update?



          i would really like to use my center caps without having to cut the studs or spend another $120 for shorter studs elsewhere.

          anyone else have this issue? first time using adapters, please advise, thanks.





          This worries me also as I have a set of 17x8 Style 5's I want to use with caps. Can anyone verify that they fit over the studs?

            Just finished new studs style will fit with center caps. All orders will come with studs from now on no bolts anymore. The new studs will clear your center caps and can be installed just fine

              just two weeks after i was denied any solution that didn't include cutting — this definitely stings.

              costed me another $120 elsewhere for separate set of shorter studs.

              looks like i was the squeaky wheel, and everyone else is getting the grease...

                I have no problem to send you new set. but you can pay 25$ for shipping.

                I was asking the factory since December of last year to create new studs. and they had no word until last week. I was surprised.

                but hey I can still send you a set at no cost but you only have to pay for shipping!

                  Just installed my new adapters. Running 205/50/16 on 18mm adapters. Only complaint is that my hex keys didn't really fit the studs to tighten them. Other then a little rub when I turn everything is good.

                      The hex 6 didn't fit all the way in or at all so I had to get a smaller hex and tighten it stripping my hex key. Hopefully I never have to take them out.

                        the allen bolts came with the kit are 10mm. the nuts are 19mm. which one did you strip?

                            The studs, my hex tool didn't want to go in any of them only a few of them.
