Do these look stripped to you guys?

do these holes look stripped to you guys?

took off my wheels and tried putting them back on after with a spacer and for some reason only one hole lets the bolt go all the way, the other four either wont enter or will get stuck half way

Some of those look like the first couple threads are mangled. Hard to tell exactly w the pics.
You could always chase them w a tap to clean it up and fix it.

Don’t tighten the first bolt completely..
Allow the wheel to move a little and the other bolts shouldn’t get caught up!
Those threads look well enough the the bolts should feed in..

Thats not stripped. The second and third photo looks galled up a little. Blow them out with some compressed air. Looks like there are quite a bit of metal shavings around the hole. Before you put the wheel on try threading the bolts in by hand.

What exactly is chasing them with a tap?

thread chaser is used to clean out the threads.

tap and die is used to create new threads.

Basically you buy a thread chaser that is the correct pitch and size for the bolt and existing threads. Then you use it and some cutting fluid to clean up the threads.
A tap is what is used to make the threaded hole to begin with.

They 3rd pic really shows it; the first few threads are stripped.
Look for a tapkit on Amazon and re-tap the threads.
Don't upsize the whole. For Example, if this is an M14, then just get a M14 tapkit, not M14.1 or M15

Like others have said, chase with a tap and you are good to go.

This works. I used it during my stud install.

When you use oil to chase the threads, make sure you use brake clean to get ALL oil off the threads, as any oil will change torque amount.

Definitely chase them.

What oil do you recommend to chase threads?

Which a good enough torque wrench driver there’s no such thing as a stripped bolt
