Quick question... Lug bolts and spacers
I'm getting my tires put on tomorrow and want to make sure I have my bases covered.
I test fitted the 10mm spacer behind the wheel with the lug bolts and it looks like I have 1/2 inch worth if threads (7-8 threads). Is this sufficient?
Thanks in advance.

Minimum thread engagement into hub assembly must be 5½ complete 360º revolutions. Too short of a shank will result in lack of engagement and an unsafe condition (see illustration #1). Too long of a shank can extend beyond the hub assembly and possibly cause damage to other vehicle parts (see illustration #2).
