Default 25mm Spacers not fitting

hi i bought new 25mm spacers with press studs from a member of the forums, i tried installing it on two of my wheels but it seems as i cannot tighten my stock lugs correctly when i put my wheels on the spacer. I feel as the studs on the spacer are too long. i was seeing if i should be running non-stock lugs or what i can do? i figure i can ask for a refund or cut some thread off.

Pics:
here is a pic of the spacer pressed against my stock hub(notice that the spacer stud is much longer than stock oem stud, dont know if its an issue tho)


pic of my lug nut tighten all the way, it breaks right through my lug nut to reach tightening point


any advice would be great
thanks

Id say either open lugs or extended lug nuts. Im no expert and not sure if aftermarket lugs are safe on oem wheels, assuming u have stocks.

It is suppose to come with 20 open ended lug nuts. Did you not get any? You will need these and once they are mounted on, you'll use your stock lug nuts to put your wheel back on. This is how i did mine.

Ah so the stock lugs are not deep enough. You might need some different lugs or get 20 more open ended lugs. I did not have a problem but then mine were 20mm's and you have 25's

I've never used spacers so I might be thinking about this wrong....but don't you use the stock nuts on the stock studs (to hold the spacer to the hub), then the open end nuts to hold the wheel to the spacer?
