Default Maybe. Depends on how much thread grabs with your current bolts

I think the rule is 6-8 turns worth when you tighten, about an inch of bolt sticking through the wheel I think. Maybe test to see how many turns you currently have and how much bolt sticks through the wheel. Then you can estimate how much you'll have left with the new spacers. At least it'll give you some idea. :-)
