For anyone using wheel spacers...

For anyone using spacers, did you get extended studs? If so do you have apart number?
I have some spacers for the rear and am concerned about the reduction of thread engaging the nut. Also looking for quality studs as 140 ft/lbs torque is pretty high; would hate to break them at high speed.

I have used 5mm with Enkei wheels with stock studs. I didn't like that at all. My thread engagement was half of what it was without the spacer. I don't think I would do more than 3mm on stock studs. Another alaternative would be to use extended lug nuts, such as what Gorilla offers. I bought them, but they didn't fit through the holes on the Enkei wheels. However, they do fit my Apex wheels and I plan on using them with the same 5mm spacers. They allow for esentially the same thread engagement as no spacer.

These are a quarter inch longer for more thread engagement

Another question: for OE wheels do the spacers need the raised bore rim, or can they be completely flat? I'm thinking 6mm spacers...

I used flat. But I also used concentric rings on the wheels. Technically, if you have a spacer with a lip that matches the wheel bore, you wouldn't need the rings.

Studs are the same as 6th Gen Camaro. Can't get better than ARP.

5-6mm is about max you want to run. There are hubcentric slip on spacers in Ebay cheap.

But I've also used Ebay 15mm bolt on hubcentric spacers with no issue on my old 4BW.
