Can you use 5mm spacers with stock lugs?

I want to ad 5mm spacers on all four corners, do the stock lugs have enough threads??
Thanks

I remembering doing research on this before and my conclusion is to be safe than sorry. So I got extended bolts from H&R.

The guideline with the SCCA is a bolt should have at least 7 turns. The stock bolts on stock wheels are about 9 turns. With a 1.25mm thread pitch, you only have about 2.5mm of spare threads.
