Stud Conversion Issues

Hey guys, i have the wheelmate 12x1.5 stud conversion kit for my r56. I'm running volk te 37 17x7.5 et 37 wheels.

I'm having an issue with only one wheel not seating correctly. The wheel is not on the hub all the way it seems. I torque the lugs down and they are uneven in length.

It's hard for me to describe, but i know the wheel isnt on all the way lol. Should i try open ended lugs? Thanks for any help.

Not sure if that would work, but try retorquing the studs again as well to make sure it is seating well.

Open lugs will be good.

It sounds like a stud isn't far enough into your hub. I am guessing it won't seat up where the studs appear to be the longest? the 14x1.5 part sounds like its backed out a bit... just a guess
