Default wheel spacer problem pics hellllppppp!

So i installed some ichiba v2 spacer today but while installing one of the front spacers I stripped one of the nuts on it. It just keeps spinning and spinning. Has anyone else done that and what are the chances of getting another nut? here are some pics of them, I also installed a rear strut brace today, and yes the car is filthy:

auto parts stores can get the studs, you can get the nut from any specialty bolt store like Fastenal.

Your car is filthy; I just had to throw that in there to be funny

Invest in a torque wrench to prevent the over-torque and further damage.

a wheel stud is a wheel stud. You have to match the thread pitch and length.

Glad you fixed your problem, use a torque wrench.
