Wheel Spacer ??
I just put some wheel spacers on my back wheels....I measured the spacer with a my dial caliper and they measured 3/10ths of an inch. What is the rule of thumb on how much stud should stick out.
Obviously Im not going racing with these but I just like how it makes it look daily driving.

the only thing that would top it off would be some flared quarters in the back.

Rule of thumb (so, I'm told) the lugnut should get a least 4-5 full threads minimum to be safe. FYI, I used 1/4" spacers on mine and the lugs grabbed about 6 threads. From research on the forum, I think if you went with a spacer thicker than 5/16", you wouldn't grab enough threads and it's not safe.
