I ran a 5mm space for awhile but I had a 3mm hub extender.

It's a simple "hollow-pin in socket analysis" under combined bending, lateral shear and axial load. Only the hub reacts a portion of the vertical shear - you'd be amazed at how much shear a lip with 80 mil of engagement with a 2.85"-diameter can carry. I'm comfortable with the > 3-4 mm of engagement I have with a 5 mm spacer. However, thanks for your concern  |
Lol...anytime! Still, my apex and OEM wheels have a taper on the back, appears to be at least 3mm. So is 2mm of engagement fine? I'm not an engineer but I know enough to make me dangerous.
