wheel spacer question....
So ive heard alot about people getting wheel spacers, when i put some on my car to see what it would do, i only had about 3 or 4 threads on my lugs showing so i could only turn the lug nuts about 3 or 4 time, is this safe?

Not enough, what size are your spacers. you are fine running 3-5mm. But if you go 10mm or higher, you should get extended studs as well; only way to be safe

with 10mm, you'll need extended studs like Fulani mentioned.
BTW, anyone know if 6.5mm spacers is a safe size?
