I believe you should be fine. Some people run 8mm spacers; just make sure to torque them correctly.

Drive 100 miles and check to see if theyre loose. It should be fine if theyre torqued right. Are they generic or hubcentric?

I have 5mm hubcentric in the back. Torqued them to 90 and they haven't moved since.

Wow, 15mm seems like too much. I've heard of 8 being done, but never 15. You might want to look into extended studs.

Ok, that makes sense. I thought you were talking about the little hub centric slip ons.

It is safe to run 5mm spacer on stock studs. Make sure you torque you wheels down in a star pattern and to the correct torque spec. Anything larger requires extended wheel studs.
