5-10 miles is not sufficient downwind of thunderstorms. Our FOM says 20 mi minimum, and I have seen reports of hail damage beyond that.
Even our Ops manual says the same but in practical flying, with bare minimum reserve fuel, it kinda becomes a trade off between deviation and having reserve fuel left for any delay at Destination.
