Spacer question???

I bought some ichiba v2 spacers for my car,
From a guy for cheap but the thread is 12x1.5
I realize our cars are 1.25. But I bought bolts, That would
Fit And torqued them too 55lbs. And bought 12x1.5 lugs
Too mount the wheel. Should this be safe w/ no issues???
I'm just kinda, nervous & reconsidering selling them
& getting the correct set & bolts. Because the bolts are just hex
Nuts from Kragen, & seem too be digging into the spacer, because
It's a slightly smaller nut. Then what supplied w/ the original kit.

Anybodys opinion please, be appreciated!!!

Thanks

The bolts that secure the spacer to the hub spindle should have a conical seat right?...and you're just using regular hex nuts?

Doesn't sound safe.

I would just resell it, the safety issue regarding wheel spacers is just too important. Get the original set and have the peace of mind!

Def sell and get the correct spacers/lugs.
There's too much riding (no pun intended) on a wheel spacer to not have it done right.
