Wheel studs and spacers question

Hi guys
The M3 I bought came with stud kit. I’m running m359 wheels and have just added spacers 12mm and 10mm. I’m not sure if the studs are long enough to be safe.

Basically after installing spacers I can get the nuts on about 11-12 full rotations. Pretty much the remainder of the stud thread is covered by the nut.

Any advice would be appreciated.

as long as you bought the correct length and install it right your good.. i bought my studs from apex and if you are putting no more than 12mm spacer they recommend you getting the 75mm studs but if your putting 15mm or more in the future then you need the 90mm spacer

Am I ok to assume that as long as the nut fully covers the tread on stud, it’s safe to run?

This is correct. Unused threads beyond the nut don't do anything. Can you attach a pic?
