So i was doing research because I'm in love with these rims for a 620,,,

I was just wondering why such few people ran them.

 

I have done some research and understands they need a spacer but what's the right size.

 

I've heard 1 inch to be perfect but would they fit pretty well with 1/2?

 

If i did 1/2, is it dangerous if not all the threads of my lug nuts are used. The studs wouldn't be long enough I assume.

Yes it would be dangerous. Easy to change the studs and cheap at the wreckers.

i was taught that, as long as a nut was threaded down at least  the width of the bolt. that's as strong as a nut and bolt combo will get

 

 

so for a 12mm wide wheel stud your lug nut needs to be at least 12mm threaded.

 

 

but for a permanent setup get longer studs,  

[q-tip]

Its actually 1.5 the diameter of the bolt is the most strength. But with lug nuts if you have the nut full of threads that's all you need.

 

I think the engineers say you need 8 turns minimum on a 12mm stud
