afraid my wheels are gonna fall off

i finally recieved my rear wheel spacers, theyre 8mm's, i read on the org that i can use up to 10mm with the stock studs, but my lugs dont seem to have much thread to grip onto, seems about half of the lug. is that enough or do i need new studs, i plan on bumping up to 20mm's in the back eventually and i know i need new ones for those, but am i fine with my stock studs on my stock rims?

Where did you get 8mm spacers from and what find are they? It probably would be a good idea sometime in the near future to get longer studs.

For 10mm spacers, get longer studs. 5mm spacers you can use w/ OEM studs.

You should be fine on stock studs with 10mm. 10mm is really the pushing point of getting new studs. Its ur call on this one. If you go any higher, then you will need longer studs. If you get H&R 20mm spacers. tehy come with new longer studs.

dont go off roading or careful on bumpy roads. I did something stupid (went and tried a short cut) and two lug nuts fell of one wheel. Other than that on smooth roads they should be fine (i put about 2k miles before hitting the dirt road).
