wheel spacers with stock studs
Just out of curiosity, has anyone on here ran an 1/8th inch spacer or something close to that on the stock studs? I just need a couple mms but I dont want to mess with longer studs.

I ordered ARP longer studs.
I'm waiting to have some money to buy new hubs/bearings, because I don't want to use the new studs on old tired hubs with a slight play.

You don't mention the year of the car or the wheel combination so it's difficult to just throw an answer out there!
You would certainly want threads "exposed" beyond the threaded portion of the wheel nut. I believe three threads is the "accepted" aircraft guide. If you've got the spacer mount it. If you don't just stack flat washers to duplicate the thickness of the spacer you want to use. You would then answer your own question!
