hunter54 1 Posted May 22, 2021 I just put 2 inch wheel spacers on my 2012 Rancher 420 ES 4x2 . The problem that I have is when i use the lug nuts that came with the spacers is that they will only go on about half way on the wheel studs . Any help with this would be great , lug nuts are torqued at 48 lbs . Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,147 Posted May 22, 2021 Hunter, Welcome to ATVHonda ... I have been bitten with that problem you are having myself --- can you do a pic of your spacer and lug nuts ? -- I think a pic would help to understand your problem better for me there are a few different designs of wheel spacers out there , one is where the hole of the spacer is " Coined " , this is where the edge of the hole is beveled so a beveled edge on the lug mates with the edge of the hole and centers itself , have seen two varieties of this set up , one where the hole in the spacer for the lug is way too big for the stud and the lug is what keeps it centered over that huge hole , these are terrible and have a tendency to loosen up , then another way is some are coined but the hole for the lug is the size of the stud and I find these are the best style , there is yet another style where the lug nuts and the spacers' holes are not coined and have a flat washer built onto the nut You might need to get rid of that set of spacers and get another set , a pic would help to see what your working with ---- 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
