Put on some spacers this evening (5 front and 12 rear) and when I went to drive it wouldn't move. I put the car in allroad and tire change mode. Nothing different than I've done before. There are no lights, no codes, and ran a Obdeleven scan just to be safe. I can hear the parking brake close and open. I even used Obdeleven just to try opening and closing the brakes. If I give it a bunch of gas I can get it to move but I only went about a foot. Its like the brakes are closed. I had to call it a night as its now dark and cold. Will see what comes about in the morning with full light. Anyone have any thoughts?

Did you use longer bolts? Jack the car back up and see if the wheel turns.

I did but only a couple mm longer. They were ball seat but not as flat seated as the factory bolts. I was thinking they might be something so I ended up swapping out the back bolts as the last thing I did tonight. No luck but going to swap the factory bolts back in tomorrow morning. What could too long of bolts do? I would think they would just bottom out and not allow you to fully tighten/seat the wheel.

yeah bottom out..... on the hub.
Back the bolts out a few turns and I bet the wheels will spin

Thanks Kevin. I'll swap out the fronts in the morning. Appreciate the input. Thanks, Brendan
