Are These Spacers Safe To Run

I rather start another thread about spacers and get yelled at than be unsafe.

I just ordered a set of custom hub centric/wheel centric 5mm spacers for my car thinking that there would be enough thread engagement for the stock studs(Aftermarket wheels). I have read online numerous times that its safe or isnt safe. I dont really know what to believe. I read people count the turns of the lugnuts and it has to be at least 7 turns. Other people i have read have had even larger than 5mm spacers and run them on stock studs just fine. I dont really know what to think. Of course longer studs seems like the obvious answer but it also seems like a pain to replace and I dont want to if I dont have to. What are your experiences with spacers of this size or larger? Thanks
