Wheel Studs: 4 down, 12 to go

I'm using the washers + spare (open) wheel nut on upside down method to insert the wheel studs;

The downside is I can't get a socket over the nut this way up & therefore can't use a breaker bar:

4 down - 12 to go:

To be honest ,they are not all tight against the back of the hub, perhaps 1/4mm higher on some, they are as tight as I can get without the hub jumping out of the vice though. I'll have to re-check once wheels and a little driving has settled things in:
Double check the stud lengths with the disc & wheel in place, I have a good 10 full turns on the wheel nut until its tight:
