Default 3-5mm Spacer

Do you need extended lugs if you're running a 3-5mm spacer or is there still a safe amount of thread left?

Hmm, I just checked the H&R website and if I read it correctly, their spacers for the s2k come with the extended lugs?

Problem is replacing the lugs is an expensive job since it is time consuming and requires replacing the wheel bearings too.

would you take the S2k to the track with the 5mm spacers without lugs?
i've heard that 3 turns is safe. what are your thoughts?
