Shaft, how long?
Is not what you think fellaz, lol....... Im thinking about putting on spacers for the rears. During my search, I read a post stating that I do NOT need longer bolts if only putting on a 5mm spacer. I've been so confused on all the stuff I have read so far. Right now, I am just using stock lugs. Now, if I add a 5mm spacer, how much thread should go into the rotor? I had the wheel out, put the 5mm spacer on it, put the lug thru, and observed only a little less than half an inch of the lug exposed that will go thru the rotor. Hope I made sense, thanks.

Are you running AMG monoblocks? Are they staggered?
I probably wouldn't add spacers to AMG wheels. They are more meant for aftermarket wheels that have an incorrect offset. If you do space it, you may need to roll the fender.

They are actually reps and only 18 x 8 all the way around. Person I bought it from gave me 5mm spacers for the rear and said he put them on with just the stock lugs. I guess I should measure how long the shanks are? Stock should be 39.9, right?
