I have 3.25 ARP's all the way around on mine. ARP is very proud of those things! $120 worth of wheel studs plus another 60 for open end lug nuts

doubt you have 2.5s on there, my moser rear came with them and they're not long enough to pass tech IMO, the threads BARELY pass the weld rim.

I have 3.25, couple of threads past shank.

Just buy the longest ones and cut em down if need be.

I haave the 3.25 ones, and tehy stick out of the end of my lug nuts a touch more then the dia of the lugnut itself. This is with Bogart's and the standard spacer they weld to the inside of the wheel to clear the stock brakes, and with summit open ended shank style lug nuts.

I think the OP means length of the studs for the front.

My rears are 5/8ths

I believe or it used to be your threads must stick out at least 1/2 the diameter of the stud, i.e 1/2" stud must have 1/4" thread showing past the lug nut.

Also remember wheels like prostars and draglites are much thicker in the center than a bogart or Alumastar rims.

Running 2.5 ARPs on all four corners and they are more then enough to pass tech with Bogarts and front spacers. Only like $50-60 to!

With weld draglites or pro-stars you'll need the longest arp studs. The rims are extremely thick in the center. For tech, the threads must engage into the hex portion of the lug nut. They do NOT have to stick out past the lug nut. I'm pretty sure they must engage the width of the stud itself into the hex portion, someone with a rulebook handy will chime in soon.
