In your case, I would say that you only have 2.5 to 3 turns, which is very dangerous. Especially on the SUV weight.
Please don't spread potentially dangerous incorrect information when you don't know what you are talking about!

Taken directly from the H&R website:

Safety guidelines
(Minimum number of turns for wheel bolts / nuts):
M12 x 1.25 = 8.0 turns = approx. 10 mm of load bearing shaft length
M12 x 1.50 = 6.5 turns = approx. 10 mm of load bearing shaft length
M12 x 1.75 = 6.5 turns = approx. 12 mm of load bearing shaft length
M14 x 1.25 = 9.0 turns = approx. 12mm of load bearing shaft length
