Default Question about spacers

Hey guys, I just got my 10mm spacers but it doesn't come with the extended studs. My question is, is it safe to put on and drive? I just installed them and the stud seems kind of short when I tighten my wheel. lmk thanks

third is when I put my wheels on and that is how It kind of looks like bolt it on. Short tightening.

I highly suggest extended studs or get the proper 10mm spacers that have built in studs.

also, i presume you are just using the other spacer and the 10mm spacer as an "example" and not planning on using spacers bolted to spacers.

If you can get 9 full rotations of the lug nuts you're good. But I needed the extended studs which came with my H&R spacers to get enough lug turns.
