Message	Having always used the "covered" typen of lug nut, I never could see how many threads were actually engaged when installed. After getting a new set of wheels I bought 20 Ti nuts "open" style. My camera will not focus closely enough so I cannot provide pictures of the wheels. In the rear the stud came up to about 1/8" of the top of the nut and in the front to about 1/4". Aftermarket wheels have different hub thicknesses to accommodate different offsets. Should I be worried? (thread length of Ti nut is anbout 3/4 inch.
