Hi all I have a mk4 fiesta encore and have tried to fit rs2k wheels 195/50/15 but although the studs line up ok they seem too thin any advice would be great thanks.

There is a big gap around the stud and the nut goes too far into the wheel to tighten up properly. Do I just need to buy different tapered nuts?
