As I said earlier they are the correct Pitch. If they were tight I didnt thread them on, I stop with they got to hard to hand tighten.

Some go on all the way hand tight but they still feel tighter then normal. And that was only about 5 out of 20 did that.

I didnt force anything

The thread are fine, its the first time the lugs have been off. My only though is because the threads are so new on the studs the peeks are still full and the aluminum is getting caught.

I was in the process of buying a tap and die when the power went out so I will go back tomorrow and buy both and Im going to run it over the studs and through the lugs to see how they feel
