I dont think my wheels fit

i just got some 15x10 ttIIs and they have a 3 inch backspacing in the back. it seems like the studs may be too short. but someone here told me they would fit. the bolt screws on about half way. am i ok.

If they only go on half way then no you are not ok. You might need longer studs.

Don't risk this one. I did once and I lost a wheel which took the door and fender with it. Now I always run open ended lug nuts so I can make sure the studs are long enough. Spend the extra few bucks on longer studs....it is worth it,

Check with the wheel manufacturer to see what open ended lug nuts they recomend for those wheels. Wheels can be picky about the lug nuts used on them because the angle of the cone it is secured by has to match the wheel.

i think i am definatly going to get longer studs but with torq thrust IIs do you have to have washers and shanks. just trying to find out before i mount them. i am mounting them myself so i cant just go and ask someone.
