You mentioned the nuts are new. What nuts are you using? If these are aftermarket poly locks then don’t torque them to 15 ft lbs! Only factory style nuts get torqued.

That pilot bushing you posted (the smaller diameter one) I believe is for a Chevy. The correct Pontiac bushing diameter should be around 1.378”.
