If its only 5mm it'll be fine without extending the studs. If anything wider than yes you definitely need to replace them..

5mm you won't need it because there would still be enough threading. Extra studs wouldn't hurt, just to be on the safe side.

no you dont need extended studs for 5mm spacers....i've been running with 5mm spacers with stock studs for the past 3 months and i've had zero problems.
