Ok so my friend gave me his 5mm spacers and they all cleared the fine with about 1/2 of the stock stud good for threading except the left front
the spacer takes up more than half and im left with no thread only about 3 turns but the right front is fine both sides have stock studs and the right side with the spacer sits equal with the left with no spacer equal as in the space from the brake disk to the rim spoke. I tired searching but nothing comes up do any of you have a clue what it might be.

Are the wheels sitting correctly on the hub? (Aftermarket wheels, Hub centric rings)
If they're not, the lug nuts won't seat all the way and you won't get full threads.

so the whole side only has 3 turns of thread? if so id say it had the hub replaced and the studs are shorter on that side. just measure the stud lengths on both side. if all lengths are the same its a rim/hub alignment/center spacing issue. unless your rims are different ha ha ha
