7 turns with 5mm?

[Niz55]

Would it be safe to run 5mm spacers on the rear of the Shelby with stock wheels and have 7 turns by hand?

Truly safe is 10 turns. I'd want to see what the residual torque is with just 7 before going with it. In all likelihood, it's fine.

I was thinking applying some red locktite (:

Not a great idea.

Longer studs. And live

Does the thread length of the 7 turns exceed the diameter of stud? ..there's some kinda wheel stud rule or standard you can Google I thinks. .

I actually measured again and as soon as the lug nut grabs a thread it is 8.5 turns before torquing.
