Are you pulling the studs FLUSH before you install the wheel?

Detail Page for 22800 Wheel Stud Installer - Lisle Corporation

if you gotta do a bunch pick one of these up to help pull the stud thru all the way

Tell us your procedure to installing the studs. I would bet money, if your installing by hand the weren't seated against the back of the hub. Like John said the lug may seem tight, but the stud isnt "seated" completely

but how i did it was i put washers on the stud and put one of the old lug studs on and tightened it until it was physically impossible for the stud to come through anymore. on all 5 of them. they were about as "seated" as they were going to get...
