Could i safely run a 10mm spacer on my GS350 AWD with stock Gspider rims without the extened lug nuts? Need to switch back to a winter set-up soon

thanks for the help!

I had 10 mm without extended studs with factory wheels with no problems. My factory lugs are hubcentric extended so they go into the stud bore I was able to get 8-10 turns

eh imo 10mm is pushing it. take a oem wheel and put it on and see how many turns you can get on a lug.

I'm now thinking about the Ichiba V2 15mm with the bolts on the spacers already. I was using 10mm on stock studs/rims/lug nuts for about 3 months, but now question safety. Thanks for the help so far!
