5mm wheels spacers+p10

Just got my h&r 5mm wheel spacers for my p10. I only got 2 for the rear. Anyways, they came with 8 new longer studs. Seeing as these are only 5mm spacers would I need to use these longer studs? The directions say for 10mm & up, but I just want to make sure. I heard I dont need to replace them, with only 5mm I should be fine with stock studs. I just dont want my wheels coming off haha.

You won't need the extended studs with 5mm spacers.

if you dont use them give them to me!

once you put the spacers on and your wheels, see how many threads you have with the lugs on. if it seems sketchy ill come help you put in your new studs

I had pleanty of thread. Pretty noticable difference just with the 5mm. Now i want to put longer studs on and go with a bigger spacer lol.

If the studs don't protrude at least all the way through an open ended lug nut then the studs are not long enough.

Its good to have about 7 turns worth of threads. I say install the longer studs that way if you swap wheels with a thinker flange you'll still have enough stud length. I did run 5/16" (8mm) with stock studs and wheels on my A32, however I don't recommend it.

SO its not needed but its better to be safe than sorry.
