Are bolts with a 36mm (+10mm) shank safe for 12mm spacers?

Greetings all,

I recently got a set of 10mm and 12mm spacers from Rogue Engineering. I was a little bit disappointed when I looked at their extended bolts. On the bag it said "For 10mm or 12mm Spacers". I measured the bolts and sure enough they had a 36mm shank length. Therefore it would be 2mm short for the 12mm spacers. Is this safe? I installed them with the bolts and they seem fine but I am contemplating purchasing 38mm shank length bolts just to be safe. Should I complain to Rogue Engineering?

With a 10mm spacer you should be running a 35mm shank. With a 12mm spacer you should be running at least a 38mm shank.
