Default Wheel Hub Spacer

Hi All. May I use 0,5 cm (0,2 inch) hub spacers to lower ET? Are hub bolts long enough to fasten nuts correctly? Thanks.Alex

I used a set of 1/4 inch spacers to mount my Stingray winter tires on my Z06. They worked well because the rule of thumb told to me by the performance shop I bought them from was 6 full turns of the lug nuts to be confident that you had enough thread. However on the Z the wheels where too close to the calibers for me and I went with 1 1/2 inch spacers.

I have a tread with pictures out in the Z06 section. The Z looks odd with stingray wheels but it allows me to drive it in colder weather and works for me.
