Installed 7mm spacers on the back and bought ( the only longer size I could find) new lug bolts for my 97...well, the volts are too long and won't allow the vehicle to move a foot forward or back. Don't worry, I didn't try and try...and just one last go. I knew exactly what was happening. The bolt I purchased are 51mm...does anyone know where to find bolts that are longer than stock but shorter than these!? I'm having a real hard time.

Also--my stock lugs only turn twice and a half turns before getting snug. Not enough, eh?
