Re: 2010 Camaro Wheels on Lowered C10

Maximum thread engagement is equal to the thread diameter. So if those studs are 1/2" you need at least a 1/2" of thread engagement for maximum holding strength. Anymore than that is a bonus.

On another note I got ran out of the road early last month by an inattentive driver and into a curb pretty hard. Hard enough actually that the wheel and entire right side suspension are trashed and the frame shifted. My "cheap, unsafe, death trap" eBay spacers didn't break. It might not even be damaged but I'll change it anyhow. Just wanted to throw that out there for all the spacer worrywarts....
