IIRC the nuts need to be turned 9 times to be secure.

hi phil . extended studs are better when fitting spacers . the nuts will go on but not as secure as said above .

I bought 20mm longer studs and open ended nuts for my sister's classic so that she can run 10mm spacers with ease I'll be running 5mm spacers on mine soon so that my wheels clear my new brakes and I'll be doing the same again.

Better to be safe than sorry

That's right, it puts extra strain on them.
