Yes, it could lock the wheel up if it protrudes enough to hit something behind it. Take the wheel back off and go to the new stem (stud) and draw it the rest of the way in with the wheel wrench, nut and enough washers (under the nut) to get it fully seated before putting the wheel back on. If it's jammed, you may have to start over seating the stud.
