Do I need extended lug bolts for a 5mm spacer?

It may be a silly question, however I want keyed/lock bolts and I believe they only come in the stock length of 27mm and I read that a 33mm length stud is recommended for a 5mm spacer. Thanks for any input

Yup. You need to get 5 to 6 full turns which isn't possible with the stock lugs and 5mm spacers

Cool that's what I thought, thanks. Are there any extended bolts with locks?
