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?
51mm lug bolts are too long . And, any further attempts to move the vehicle will cause the springs that are holding the e-brake assembly together to come apart (assuming that it hasn't already happened) . The aftermath will be like trying to put a cheap watch back together. So, aside from AKL musing about my under britches , he is correct regarding the appropriate size bolts of 7-8 mm spacers .
