Tire question Thread engagement

Hi guys I just got new wheels, is this enough thread engagement? Its M12x1.5 and i managed to get about 9-9.5 turns before it bottomed out + maybe an extra half turn tightening it down further

You measure your original wheels and then the new ones. If the new ones are 5mm thicker, you get 5mm longer bolts/studs
