3/4" rear wheel spacers help!!!

Hello guys I need some advice here. I just installed these this weekend and it seems like my front tires are rolling under or something is going on. Is it going to feel way different with these things on going around turns, I cant describe it it just feels wierd. Any input will help, should I take these off??

I forgot to add this, yes there was enough room for the lugs to have like 7 rotations, the lugs are tight, I double checked them!

I doubt the lugs are long enough. You have almost 19mm spacers and I believe anything over 15 mm definitely needs longer studs.

20mm Spacers

Since I just ordered a pair of spacers, I am interested in knowing what brand name, style or type of spacers, and if you installed new studs as well?

if it's 19mm like ibag8rfan, then you defintely need new lugs. Also, are you sure you have hub centric spacers?

Spacers (Rear Only)

I am getting the H & R Brand Spacers (Hub centric) with the studs included.

Although installation is sort of easy per an earlier thread, I believe I am going to take it to the Nissan Service of the install and get my SS brake lines installed as well.

I did not install new studs, the brand name is.... now don't laugh I got these at a local parts store, MR G Gasket Co. It is not unbearable it just feels funny when I go into a turn hard its kind of like fighting the road, before I installed these it just seemed to stick alot better. Thanks for the input!
