Unhappy Wheel studs

im having a problem with a new set of rims . the hole where studs go through its to deep and the studs are not long enough.. how can i fix that maybe wheels spacers with the studs?, but i really don't want the wheels to be sticking out the car....please any opinions ....

Asking for opinions? XD. Anyway, can you provide details of the rims? Pictures? Are you like... putting it on backwards? XD More information on your stuff, please.

My first thought was that you're using the wrong lug nuts for the wheels you bought. Most large tire shops should be able to supply you with lugs that reach deeper into the wheel....check em out!

I just changed the studs on my car (broke one) and it wasn't too bad. Remove the brake caliper and bracket, pull off the disc, whack away on the studs with s hammer, put new studs in, bolt them down fully, reassemble. Not too bad, follow the DIY on my350 and have pb blaster handy. Got the extended studs from z1motorsports.

Same brand, diff finish.
