definitely the wrong ones, should look like this
As i said before dont use that nut in the picture, you re-use the one from your stock suspension
If ur still unsure mate watch this video shows u how to install them

I started with 28 threads, probably about that same measurement you got there and it was fine until they settled and then started rubbing the driveshaft, now I have lowered it another 20mm and removed the roll bar

-with that loosing all my engine undertray several pieces on the m25 hard shoulder  :grin: but no rubbing  :smug:
