    Agree with 28mm.
    Word from a wheel shop was that we only need 4 threads bite on five-bolt wheels to be safe.

    True again.

    Furthermore, a general rule of thumb, the factory has 20mm of thread poking out from the wheel. So even after you add the 15mm spacer (requiring a 43mm bolt) about 20mm of thread should protrude after the spacer. BUT, having just 15mm, is just fine

    Re: Dumb Q, Stock Wheel Bolt Length?

    Say what? So the stock bolts are long enough for a 15mm spacer? I dont trust that shit. Ive always heard and gone by (all bolts/nuts in general) you should have at least the amount of bolt in contact as the width of the threaded portion of the bolt
