on a scale of moderately sketchy to ultra...
...sketchy, where would you rank temporarily riding on lug bolts that are 6-7 mm shorter than stock?
my second set of wheels needs 35mm lugs rather than the standard 28mm. from my estimate i've got slightly more than 1/4" or roughly 5 threads engaged. does anyone know the stock thread engagement depth?

Very dangerous --- I believe the spec for thread engagement is something like 3 x the diameter of the bolt
If your **** you can find the formular here but I'd make sure it is at least 3 times the diameter
