Despite your belief that I "could have popped a lug stud out" which sounds so incredibly easy which must be case on the factory axle. But as I've pointed out several times, I have an aftermarket axle that would require removal of the caliper, rotors, mounting brackets, and axle shaft. Then taking the 1/2 axle to my press to just pop out the lug stud. All of that just to see if that idea is workable.
Instead, I chose to purchase a wheel adapter to see if that remedies the problem. If it does, then I can continue with my build and decide at a later date if I change my wheels and tires.
By the way, I did try washers and the 1/4" spacer with the existing lugs and it just barely worked, which is why I purchased the 1 1/4" spacer/adapter that Lee suggested, which seemed like a more constructive suggestion than critical.
