Default Wheel spacer problem...

So I got my ichiba wheel spacers off of ebay, they came in but all I am missing the nuts? It had the spacers and the studs and that was it.

Are these specific nuts or can I just go to a store and buy general ones?

which one did u get? If its the one I'm thinking of then you might be missing those nuts. Not sure where you'd get them though.

i think you may have gotten the version 1 where you have to repace your actual lugs.

There are two types of spacers. The ones that bolt on to the existing studs. These are the ones I just put on my car. The second type of spacers are the ones where you replace the studs with longer ones. It sounds like you have the second kind.
Here is what I have.

I guess I might have the second one. When you replace the studs though, don't you need the nuts still to keep it in place?

No, the wheel keeps it in place.
