Are the type of spacers you have the ones that you first bolt down to the hub using the extended bolts and then you bolt the wheel into the spacer?
And what do you mean taken off by hand? As in spin the bolts out?

they are hubcentric spacers not the bolt on ones, and i mean I was unable to take one off without prying it off with a screw driver but the other came off with out much persuasion using my hand

Make sure your extended lugs are not too long. Also, obviously, make sure the e-brake is off lulz. |

Thread, OEM bolts are about 25mm thread, so 45 should fit with 20mm spacers.

The hub is drilled and threaded all the way through the mounting hub, so it may be hitting something on the inside. I don't know for sure.

I just hope when i get the stud kit it doesn't just do the same thing. I was hoping someone had the same problem and knew from experience , but I guess It takes more $$$$ dumped into this problem till it works lol
