boyd coddington, need help!!!

[78chev2bnice]

I got my set of 17x8" boyds  and I got some rubber put on them but when I went to put the rims onto the front of my truck I ran into a problem.  Theres a little tiny lip on the back of the hub in between the studs and the lip, and it is causing my rim to not go back far enough .  I ordered a set of 5/16" spacers and I'm wondering if they will work or if I have to do somethiong else.  Also with the spacers will the studs be long enough or will I have to order new longer ones?

so far its been nothing but one mishap after another with these rims.  First I had to wait for the rims, then I had to wait for rubber to be ordered, then Canadian Tire wouldn't risk putting the rubber on the rims because they were scared they would reck something. So I went to Kal-tire and they put the rubber on and the back ones fit fine but now the front ones are causing problems.  Now I have to wait for the spacers to get here from Vancouver.  And if it still doesn't work I'll be pissed.

But there really nice rims.

Any polished aluminum wheel is going to suck.  Wait till you have to clean them every week.....

I had a set of 18" Boyd's on my 01' HD pickup, and I liked them for about 3 days.  Once I realized what a pain they were, I got a set of Weld EVO 20's in chrome and I've never been happier.  And no one wanted the Boyd rims when I went to sell them.    

You will probably need longer studs. I would buy them just to be on the safe side, personally.
