Any ideas on how to fix this? Noticed this today inspecting my new wheels. The bolt is tight and I don't want to torque it down more and damage the wheel further.

I think I'll be able to get it out. My fear is the bolt comes out and won't screw evenly back in. I know it won't screw down any more in its current position. I didn't want to do anything until I heard from Saints Offroad in case we need to do an exchange.

get a tap for what ever size the bolt is. take out the bolt then with alot of oil on it use the tap and slowly screw it in and back it out. after that the bolt should go in fine. BUT i think u r right, wait for saints offroad or maybe even method to tell u what they would like to be done

That will look great....I should have checked them better while in the box. I was just too excited to get them installed. I'm sure this isn't the first time they've seen this.

Let me know when you get your DS in and post up some pics.
