Not correct for standard width. No stud mods req.

Supplied with tall dome nuts and 2 different washers
Cannot get the front on not enough thread
Thats why I posted my comment - I had the same issue, change studs to longer and all good
And that's also why I posted mine as I fitted myAF rims on standard studs withe no modifications and the nuts went on fine on both front and rear.

Got it done in the end
Put wave washer on, put done nut on tighten it down this pushes the wave washer on
Then take off dome nut put split wash on ang this gave enough thread to tighten down
Should have took my time I've really scratched the polished rim

Surely a wavey washer, spring washer and a nyloc is way overkill
When I use a nyloc I only use a flat washer although you must remember that you can't keep re-using nylocs forever. I use spring or wavey washers when just using a normal nut.
Anyway, glad you got it sorted in the end.

No Nylock
It's a wave washer split washer and deep dome nut
Because of the recess the Dome nut is long so as to get some purchase on it
