why don't you start all over and begin by listing what you are using on the car. What rims, what offset, what size hub bores on the rims, what lugnuts, any spacers, and different studs, etc...?. Then people might be better able to diagnose a permanent solution.

Ok sorry. I have bbs Lm 17x8 45 17x9 40. I don't know the bore is, is there a way to find out? Stock lug nuts. lowered on tein s techs. No spacers but my friends suggested universal spacers to fix the bore issue. Would that work?

no no no. you cant space out a wheel because the bore is too small. the bore needs to fit.
On top of that, you'll have barely a few threads holding the wheel on.

measure the wheel bore diameters of your wheels when you have a minute to see how they compare to the s2k hubs, use a ruler and estimate to the nearest millimetre (mm). Im not sure if oem lugs are best for aftermarket wheels. I'm still trying to understand how you have shorter studs like you stated in the earlier post, either you have spacers or the wheels are totally inappropriately sized for the s2k fitment and they are resting on the studs instead of the hub.

Dude, those wheels don't fit.
If you are breaking studs, something is wrong. Does the wheel even fit up against the hub?
What car are the wheels you are tryin to put on off of?
DON'T DRIVE IT WITH THE NON OEM WHEELS AND 3 BROKEN STUDS, since you don't even know for sure if they fit.

ok i'll bore all the wheels to 73mm. Whats the average price to bore 4 wheels? Is a special tool needed to bore? Its not a diy kind of job?
So i need to take it to a shop to fix the wheel studs first. I already bought the studs today.
Then next i should take my wheel to get it bored to 73mm. So would i need to bore the wheels and my hub or ??
Would i still need to get centering rings to make them sit straight?
And purchase aftermarket lugs somewhere in between.
How does that sound? thanks guys
