Help with spacers fitment!

Hey there azine i need help with my spacers for my 07 tl, i bought a set of 20mm spacers from ebay(link down below) and they just wont fit for some reason with my wheels that i have. i currently have bremmer kraft br09 wheels they are 18x8 +45 offset and they do have the cavities in the wheel for spacers. so do you think it is my wheels or my spacers that is the problem? it seems like the spacers lugnuts just dont fit perfectly in the cavities? i really dont know the problem thats why im asking all you informative fellas

I got H&Rs and they sit flush on a stock rim. I wonder if it is your rim. Have you taken it to a shop for some pro advice?

I have the ichiba brand 20mm and 15mm. Your factory studs poke through past the new hub surface. Your wheels need to have a small hole in them indention between the lug holes on the back side of the wheel or your going to be sitting on top of the oold studs. make sense?

what is the hub bore on the wheels? maybe too small, surprisingly some aftermarket wheels have some pretty small hub bores

Can you post a picture of the problem you seem to be having? The hub bore of the wheel shouldn't be the problem if they fit with out the spacer on there, no? Correct me if i am wrong but i think there is a different problem here.

are you driving around with the wheels not sitting flush on them? I sure hope not, that's dangerous as hell!
