Default 10mm spacers?

Hi everyone! I have a pair or 10mm hub centric spacers. Do i have to change the stock bolts? How much thread do i need to go into the hub?

For safety sake I would order 10mm longer bolts. Make sure they fit your wheels as I got the wrong bolts once and they would not seat correctly on the wheels which created terrible vibrations at highway speed

Measure the thread depth on the hub and the total thickness of the wheel+spacer. As long as the total bolt length is at least as long as the thread depth + wheel thickness + spacer you are fine. I it's short, I'd buy bolts long enough to make up the difference.

7 turns is the rule of thumb...

full turns... check and see otherwise buy longer studs.

You need bolts which will occupy the full thread depth of the hub, any more is unnecessary, any less is unsafe!

Thanks for the replies guys, it's a big help.

I was quite worried about this vibration. There are a lot ob bolts in ebay saying porsche/bmw/mb. I dont know if they are identical and would seat in.
