Only thing is... the wheel studs are tight AF and don't feel like the right thread for the OEM lug nuts... Like I'm talking a 1/2" ratchet minimum to turn the things and they get warm in the process.
Does anyone have any ideas?!

You must have the Ole Lug Nut Issue (OLNE), as i got my Timkens last week and i can spin the nuts on by hand. I just re-read your first post "after 6 months or so I had to knock out all the studs and replace them with my old ones because they all began to bind something terrible." and perhaps you have had stretched or worn studs all along causing you problems, and not the Timken studs after all.
I think your going to need a new set of nuts!
