Default STOP USING INCHES. The OEM lug is 14 MM (THREADS ONLY), you need to add 12mm.
Now how the hell you added 14 and 12 and got 36 is beyond me. (I'll give you some help, 26mm)

PS. Your guestimations converting b/n inches and mm is not a good idea. 1.5" is equal to 38.1 mm (not 36mm). (for future conversions, 2.54 cms is one inch, or 25.4mm)

So anyway you look at it you have problem.

What is the problem you are attempting to solve? Are you moving OEM wheels out a bit? W/ 12mm spacers the wheels you are pairing should be ET 50-45.
