Hey guys,
Title speaks for itself and the issue showed up today when attempting to take off my wheels. Had the rear of the car jacked up, went to remove the wheel lugs nuts and they started free spinning without loosening off on the driver’s side.
I have 25mm (1") CJ Pony Parts spacers https://tinyurl.com/ydgbg6xv that i installed on the car 2 years ago around this time. I've only used factory wheels with them. The spacers stay on year round. Right now the wheels installed are the ecoboost PP 19x9" wheels with the split 5 spoke design that has the wheel nuts sitting in pretty deep.
At this point I can't even remove the wheel but the lug nuts are still tight to the wheel so no vibrations or safety issue (I'm assuming as the car drove home okay).
It looks like I may have to drill through the lug nuts to the studs to get the nuts off or cut the nuts off the studs. Anybody here had any experience with free spinning studs in a wheel spacer? I'm pretty mad about this and have reached out to CJPP to see what they can do tell help me since this spacer is likely a throw away.
Any advice on removal of the lug nuts?
TLDR: wheel spacer studs are free spinning, can't remove lug nuts, help needed.
