Hey guys, putting some pass through spacers on my car. Did longest studs available in stock. How many turns should I be able to get with lug nut by hand?

Turn n a half is plenty : )

I’m being serious

Doesn’t NHRA still have rules for this?

Not sure when it applies haven’t had anything this slow in a long time think it might be anything quicker than 10 flat needs open lugs with 100% thread engagement

You need at least 14 mm of thread engagement (which is about 9.5 lug nut turns) to be safe. Anything thicker than 6 mm won't give you that. If you want a thicker spacer, you need longer studs. Or you can use a special kind of lug nuts (called ET-style: google it) that will give you extra ~6 mm of thread engagement; this way you can get away with up to ~11-12 mm spacers and stock studs.

Like these?

I get over 12 turns torqued,10 turns by hand with almost 3/4” worth of spacers. Should be good then.

A thought a rear bar helped on a IRS car ???

I put on almost 1” longer than stock studs. Less than 3/4” of spacers, although drag setup is a bit thicker. Should be good I’m thinking

I’m just trying to mock things up right now before I order hub centric spacers

Don't forget your rotor hat thickness lol!
