Default spacer stacking?

as some of you know, with work meisters you have to run spacers with extended studs as there are no holes for the stock studs to poke through if you have bolt on spacers. right now im running ichiba 10mm slip ons with extended studs. im wondering if it is safe and/or smart to add another 5mm slip on spacer?

No, it is def NOT a good idea.

If you add another 5mm spacer to another spacer, then your lug bolts are now 5mm shorter than they are supposed to be, and thereby your lug nuts have that much less threads holding the wheel onto the hub.

I believe some say you can run a 5mm slip on spacer without extending your bolts, but i would never do it.

If you want it done the right, and most safe way, get a 15mm spacer with replacement extended studs. Its not like they are too expensive. Then sell your 10's on the board.

Massive amounts of failure in spacer stacking.
