K5 K10 17x8 or 17x9 vision Cheyenne Aluminum rally wheels?

[TDoc]

The 16x8 AR172’s on my 79 k10 - Unfortunately the offset isn’t correct and the fronts hit the drag link. Used 5mm (3/16) spacers up front and the drag link clears just barely. The inner clip on wheel weights hit the drag link so I can solve that by going to stick on wheel weights. I’d like to go to a 8mm spacer but the 7/16 front lugs are so short. I’m getting 8 full turns with my extended thread lugnuts and 5mm spacer now but not sure if 6 turns with a wider spacer is enough?

On a 7/16's stud, you want at least 7/16's of thread engagement.

Even with my extended lugnuts, is this as simple as measuring 7/16 from end of wheel stud, mark it. Count the turns until I hit that mark, then mount wheel and hopefully I get the minimum amount of turns determined earlier.

The internet says 8.5 turns for a 7/16 stud. I’ll double check that with measuring.

Minimum Thread Engagement for Wheel Nuts – DrivenProducts.com

The thickness of a wheel can differ from original equipment wheels to aftermarket wheels. For that reason, it’s critical to verify that the lug nuts will properly engage the threads. This handy chart will help you determine the number of turns, or the depth of engagement, typical for your stud...
