Wheel Bolt Length: 10mm Spacer
I purchased a set of 10mm spacers for the rear of my car. From my research, the OEM wheel bolt has a shank length of 26mm. With 10mm spacers, I would need 10mm longer wheel bolts, so wheel bolts with a shank of 36mm. Finding extended wheel bolts with 36mm shank hasn't been a problem. It is finding "locking" extended wheel bolts. The best I can find have a shank of 42mm.
My question: Will a wheel bolt with a shank of 42mm be too long for a 10mm spacer? Will I run into a clearence issue with a wheel bolt 6mm (1/4") longer than what is needed on the back side of the hub? Thanks!

It's weird because on the website, all of the locking bolts are arranged by shank length with the exception of that one.
It is literally the last option on the page haha. I almost looked over it too because they get longer and longer and then after 60mm bolts, they jump back down to 36mm.

With a 10mm spacer we typically suggest a 40mm lug bolt. Typically you can go over a few mm and still be safe. Most of my guys who want lug locks with extended wheel bolts go with something like the Eurasia lock kit (LINK). They slip over the end of your lug bolt then lock down preventing the use of a lug wrench.
