pics will be up tonight.. You have to have someone step on the brake while you tighten them. The spacer nuts are a 19mm though, not the same as our stock lugs...

Its a simple cheap upgrade that does a lot to the appearance...

I didn't need someone to step on the brakes for me. All I did was tighten one lug nut back onto one of the studs. Then I took a torque wrench and put the socket end onto the lug nut while wedging the other end up against the inside of the wheel well. That prevented the wheel from spinning while I torqued down the other studs. (Of course, it helps to have multiple torque wrenches in your toolbox. If you only have one, then you might not be able to do it this way.)

I plan to do the same but afraid of adding vibration to the wheels.
Please write up some impression of driving with the new spacers too.
Thank you in advance.
