I have a question regarding lug bolts.

How much available thread engagement do you need after the bolt passes throught back of the wheel mounting surface?

I have a set on my western wheels that is a lot longer, the shank has about 1/2 or so of non threaded surface, flat face washers on them. The others that I have on my enkies could be stock for ?? steel wheels, alloys? it's a ball seat, fully threaded and protrudes out of the back of the wheel about 1/2 or so.
