Enough thread on what? These spacers come with their own studs, so there shouldn't be any change in the amount of thread that the wheels mount on to. The spacers themselves mount onto the stock studs. Of course, if for some reason I decide not mount them onto the hub and use them as a direct pass-through spacer, I'd knock out the stock studs and replace them with longer, high-strength, ones -- precisely to ensure there's enough thread. In any case, I've decided to play it a little safer and go with 15mm instead. I want to avoid the 'skateboard' look.
