Widest spacer with stock studs?

Just curious what is the widest spacer you can use with stock studs? I know back when I had my Suby, they said 5mm was the widest you could safely get enough thread to tighten your lugs before having to get extended studs or bolt on spacers with studs pressed in. Is 5mm the same for the Lex?

i've used 5mm with the stock studs for over 2 years and no problems. anything wider, i would change out to longer studs.

I put my 8mm spacers on to see how much thread I would have and couldn't even get the lugnuts to START! I personally wouldn't put any spacer on w/o longer studs or use bolt-on spacers like what was said above.
