Stupid question, but I'd rather not have a wheel fall off in an autocross...

So I read that in order to run 225 width tires up front, I'll need some 5mm spacers. Picked up some of these:

Now I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do with them. They're narrow enough that I'd be tempted to just put them on the hub, then the wheels, both on the stock bolts. How much thread do I need on the bolts to hold the wheel on securely?

If that won't work, I presume that's when I'm supposed to use the bolts that came with the spacers. Where exactly do those go? No instructions came with the spacers.

Any help appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The standard rule of thumb is that you need six full turns.

They should be replacements for the stock studs (the big bolts that the lug nuts fasten onto the ends of).

 

Excellent, thanks for your help.
