In the case of Lincoln Navigator, American cars and Japanese cars with the same fixed structure are installed with BLM Series Wheel Spacers, also known as Stud-on Wheel Spacers, which are fixed by the wheel nuts that come with the wheel spacers. Unlike Slip-on Wheel Spacers, Stud-on Wheel Spacers are not only fixed by the original wheel nuts but also by the wheel nuts of the wheel spacers. It is also necessary to check the parts more carefully during installation.

Stud-on Wheel Spacers may have the situation that the original studs are too long so that after installing wheel spacers, the depth of the wheel pocket on the inside of the wheel can not accommodate the original studs. There are two ways to solve this problem, the first is to replace the thicker wheel spacers. The thickness of the wheel spacers will provide space for the original studs to avoid the situation of incompatibility with the wheel pocket; another method is to cut the original studs and then install wheel spacers because after installing wheel spacers, the original studs are aligned, not with wheel holes but with wheel pockets. pocket, this method can also be solved.
