P500 Wheel Spacer Question

[Keebler]

I bought 2" wheel spacers for my P500 and don't know if I should use them or return them. The first problem is that the studs on the spacer are 10mm X 1.25 and the studs on the P500 hub are 12mm X 1.50. The second problem is that even though I can use the existing lugs to hold the spacer to the hub I would need to grind the socket down to fit in the lug nut hole and don't know if the ground down socket would have enough strength to take the lug nuts off when tire change is required; after months of water, mud, and rust. The stud size question is would the 10mm studs on the spacer be strong enough to hold the tires on in rough terrain? Thoughts?

I'd return them and get the right ones.

Same, return and get the one's that are supposed to fit. Don't wanna mess with it and risk a wheel falling off.

Thanks for the responses. I was leaning towards returning the spacers and getting the correct ones, that is what I am going to do.

Return them and get Dune Gear Made in the USA and vehicle specific.

not sure where you got them but you shouldnt have to grind down studs at all. We carry wheel spacers of all sizes and you can always call us if you have any questions... and for a 500 they should be 4/110 12Mx 1.50 Made in USA!!!!
