There are no lug nuts thats $10. For this to work with min cost, you would need to get nuts that fit the rotor lugs and use the provides nuts from modern spare for the spare, I still believe the hole for the spacer is too small to fit any nut due to the size of the bolt protruding from the rotor.No need to apologize to me, I am not offended. I understand they should provide the correct hardware, but if it’s just $10 worth of lug nuts that’s is the issue, I am not going to return a wheel that probably still fits. I will source my own lug nuts, and they can credit me the cost. If the wheel does not fit because the spacer is wrong, then yes I will return it.
If the nuts had fit, do you think the wheel would fit without any clearance issues?There are no lug nuts thats $10.

Do not know that answer as I was not going to try and hold both to see if it would clear.If the nuts had fit, do you think the wheel would fit without any clearance issues?
No they do not, the picture shows the major size different of the two nuts.Do the factory nuts fit the studs on the spacer?

Perhaps they sent you the wrong spacer?Do not know that answer as I was not going to try and hold both to see if it would clear.
Also take note, that the main issue is the back with the brakes and clearing, not the front. I was trying this for the front as I curbed my passenger side tire and this would have been a great recovery for it to sit and wait for the tire to make it back, but I was not going to sit there and try both front and back to see if it would clear.

I think they were supposed to include the proper nuts (similar to the ones shown above) to secure the spacer to the hub. At this point we can assume the spacer is correct.Perhaps they sent you the wrong spacer?
Have you heard back from them?
But the question is will the flanged area fit through the hole, Picture attached.5 high quality, smaller footprint nuts from Tim, $28.
$30 is not $10Bingo
This is a very good possibility, and no I have not.Perhaps they sent you the wrong spacer?

I am going to assuming nothing, if the spacer was correct then we wouldn't be having this debate. The problem is the nuts they provide will only work on the lugs on the spacer, the stock nuts will not go through the spacers hole because the flanged area of the nut is too big, and the stock nut is too big to fit on the lugs on the spacer, so IF everything was right you would be having pictures showing the spare and if there was clearance, not looking online to find new nuts to make it work and spend more money.I think they were supposed to include the proper nuts (similar to the ones shown above) to secure the spacer to the hub.

Did you read that the factory nuts dont fit the studs on the spacer?I think they were supposed to include the proper nuts (similar to the ones shown above) to secure the spacer to the hub. At this point we can assume the spacer is correct.

This is correct.Did you read that the factory nuts dont fit the studs on the spacer?
This is correct as well, but the stock nuts that come with the car SHOULD fit to mount the spacer to the hub, which it does not. As my first pictures show.The nuts that came with the spacer do
Have you ever used spacers before? This is not a mystery if you have. I have used these kinds of spacers before many times on my lifted F150's. The lug nut that holds the spacer to the hub simply needs to be of the kind Tob posted.But the question is will the flanged area fit through the hole, Picture attached.

By the nature of how a wheel spacer of this thickness works, no they shouldn't. The stock acorn nut has a larger flange, so the hole needed to fit them would be too large. All that needs to happen is to get the correct size lug nuts to secure the spacer to the hub.This is correct as well, but the stock nuts that come with the car SHOULD fit to mount the spacer to the hub, which it does not. As my first pictures show.
