Default stud install help!

So I stripped a lug I bought all new ones. But I can't get the stud to fit.I have my torque wtench at 140, tried an impact gun but this is as far as it'll go. Could it be because I froze the studs before installing?

When I put the wheel on I stillgetabout6-7 good turnson lug beforeitgetshand tight.I'm just worried that they aren't flush.

I don't think its because my lugs are closed end because they have plenty of thread, maybe I'll go get an open end and try that.

That one stud's gotta go on more. It's head needs to be flush.

GM nuts have longer threads. Use some washers as spacers and grease the threads good.

Great!

You'd usually get some decent responses from your vehicle specific section. In your case, the Camaro section.

People with the same cars like to take care of their own.

I'd suggest you create a signature to show what you have and what mods-so people can see what you're working on (although this was a pretty simple fix).
