I did see that, but that is before the wheel is on... Surely the wheel takes up a few mm of thread...

Approximately, from just measuring mine (OEM lug nuts + OEM alloy wheel), 6.5mm air gap leaving ~8mm threads available (no torque compression/stretch factor figured...which would be minimal IMO). Less than the recommended minimum for solid thread interface.

For those of you who will be receiving your wheel spacers shortly, I would recommend torquing your lug nuts to 140-150 ft-lbs and then rechecking after a tank of gas or so. When you install them, they are easier to put on with the red writing towards the wheel hub. Let me know if any of you guys have any questions and feel free to post up some pics and observations during install.
 
What was the general consensus on Shaggy's spacers? I'm thinking of trying 10 mm slip-ons on my '99.
 
I've used them for about 18 months...bunch of wheeling, probably 10K miles and zero issues...not Shaggys version but the same thing...
 
In a couple of the spacer threads there is a link to the place I got mine and so did a few others. I cant remember the name, iirc, they were in NV.

Post up if you find another good source for 10mm spacers. I'm using crappy 1/4" spacers that I'm sure don't help track width of clearance enough.

I'm selling a set of four that Shaggy made in the classifieds under Tires and Wheels. Let me know if you want them.
