Okay, I got them in today.
Thought I'd slap them on real quick before it got dark.
Here's what I've done.
1) took before picture (very important)
2) took off wheel
3) bolted on spacer using lock-tite (using provided lug nuts)
4) tried putting tire back on.
.....new studs aren't long enough to stick out through tire.
5) unbolted spacer
6) rebolted spacer (using orginal lugs Ford provided)
7) tried againg putting tire on.
....new studs are still not long enough
Spacer studs are 1-1/8" long.
WHAT THE
AM I DOING WRONG!!!!!

He thinks you're me. And fyi the note wasn't actually entirely my idea, I just took the credit/blame for it.
