Out of interest, I have been told that if the depth of engaged thread is more than 2.5 times the bolt dia. (and the threads are in good condition), the bolt will snap before the threads strip in the alloy. I also think that the disc bolts are in tension and not in shear, the braking forces are transferred due to the clamping force between the disc and the wheel.
