Can someone tell me how many lug nut turns I can get on a 3/8 spacer on the rear 24 1500?

Looking to order 3/8 spacers, cause I need them for the front for clearance. I wanted to put them in the back to get an even look. I know they’ll fit on the front with plenty of turns but not sure about the back. Anybody know how many lug turns you can get out of the rear?

I doubt anybody knows the answer off the top of their head.

You could just go out too your truck and see?  Maybe loosen one lug nut, back it off the rim 3/8", then see how many rotations it takes for the lug to come off.

Probably not enough. Just a guess.

6.35 turns. The pitch is 1.5 mm and 3/8" inch is roughly 9.5 mm. Divide 9.5 by 1.5. Same way a micrometer works.

Are the threads sticking out past the nut by more than 3/8"?

Plus three threads

If you can fill the threads on an open ended lug nut (about 3/4"), then you are good. 

 

If not, read this:

I just did exactly this, I added the BORA 3/8 spacers and changed my tires to Hankook AT2 Extreme 305/45R22 on stock gloss black wheels.  The stock lug nuts had 7 rotations which the gentleman at BORA said is enough, however i did replace the lug nuts with extended lug nuts and now have about 12 rotations which equals the stock nuts with no spacers.
