Tell the RMA where they can shove it
I'm a menace to society
I give lawyer's panic attacks
And yes I know it's not proper, it's only gotta get me another week or two till I can bring the new tires to the shop for install

I noticed this is becoming a problem on my parents' '18 Cherokee, too. I haven't heard of KSP Performance, but all I could find on their website was lug bolts for wheel spacers?A simple task today. My Son-in-law and I changed out the lug bolts on his 2018 Jeep Compass.
Only 5 of the 20 were not swollen and we could actually slip the 19mm on all the way. 14 of the 20 were swollen to the point that the socket would only just slip onto the end of it. 1 of them was so bad that a 20 was a little too big and a 19 was too small, so the 19mm got hammered onto the lug bolt enough to bust it loose and then placed in a vice to punch it out with a punch.
They have all been replaced with solid lug bolts from KSP performance.
Anyone with lug nuts or bolts with these stupid caps would be wise to change them out for solid units before having to deal with these on the roadside. In reality, you wouldn’t be able to do it on the roadside with the lug wrench supplied by the manufacturer.
All of my vehicles have solid nuts/bolts. I took care of that quickly before it could even become an issue.
The 5 decent ones.

The replacements, a thing of beauty.

Well the lug bolts are just a little longer, but just barely, they will work with the stock aluminum wheel but not steel wheels according to them.I noticed this is becoming a problem on my parents' '18 Cherokee, too.
