does anyone know if 8mm spacers will fit on stock lug bolts

What do you mean by fit.

Will the spacer go over the bolts or will you'll be able to thread the lug?

Answer should be yes for either.

For 5mm and up you need longer studs. 5mm spacers and stock lugs will hold the tire on but without longer studs my car had a weird shake.

you'll be fine with using your stock studs w/ a 5mm; anything over, you'll need to swap...like Midias said.

With 5mm spacers and stock studs I had a weird shake that was fixed with the longer studs provided. But it should still be ok.

I could just get the minimum amount of turns on the lugs with a 5mm spacer, but I still didn't feel safe driving like that. Personally, I would use longer studs with any spacer above 3mm.

if i remove the washer on the stock lug nuts it gives me 2mm more to work with so that is a total of 14mm thread length so if i put 8mm spacers that leaves me 6mm of thread left do you guys think that will be enough.what size are the ichaba spacers midas and how many of the 5mm spacers do you have guy
