Bad spacer?

I recently bought some used 50mm spacers that take the pressed in style stud bolts. When i went to install them they are completely loose and basically will not stay in. Is there anything i could do? I have tried various studs i have but the diameters are all to small. Are these spacers just worn out and the holes wallowed out?

...

I would not use them.
Once the stud goes loose they are useless.
Don't risk damage to your car, or possibly injury to yourself.
High speeds can fling off a poorly secured wheel in a flash.

Buy a new quality hub centric pair and stay safe.

Cheers, Louie
