That's a "normal" amount of engagement with similar materials (steel stud, steel lugs) - M14mm stud and at least 14mm engagement. Depending on wheel mounting flange thickness, you may have more or less than stock engagement.

I marked a lug nut and got right at 10 full rotations to full torque after initial thread engaged fully. I also used a paint marker on a stud and got the same measurement.

If someone has different info on "normal" amount of engagement, post it up.
Hey, have at it. Mechanically speaking any more than one turn is 'fully engaged', right?
