I need a little help from the RDP brain trust. I have a 65 vette, trying to fit 78 Z28 wheels. I need to run a 1/2 in spacer so the wheels don’t hit the calipers. I can’t run any wider without rubbing fender. I orig planned to replace the studs with 1/2” longer studs but now I find that it is a huge ordeal to replace the rears so now I’m trying to run the spacer on stock studs. I want to know how much thread engagement I need to be safe?
interweb says minimum thread engagement should be equal to the width of the stud. 7/16”. This is a shank style lug nut and with the wheel mounted the end of the stud is 1/8” BELOW the wheel/lug mounting surface. Thoughts?
