I've always had good experience with VAC and was ready to purchase their stud kit but noticed their hub thread length is on the "shorter" side relative to BW & Turner. For an equivalent 75mm stud, VAC's hub length is 11mm whereas the other 2 are 13mm. Is that a safety issue I should be concerned with?

I believe 5-6 turns is the minimum safety requirement and wondering if I'd get that with the VAC studs.
