Default Lug nut?

So i tried on my new Rushforth wheels the rear wheel studs have about 1" of lug engagement but the fronts wil have right around .625" or 5/8" i know the rule is 1.5x the bolt diameter which the studs are 1/2" so they should be 3/4" engagement will this be a problem?
I looked to see if i could find a bit longer screw in stud for the wilwood brakes but the next longer size is 1" longer which would also require longer lug nuts!

Hmm, are you running open or closed lugnuts? Done properly you cant tell the difference.

Closed and i dont care how well you cut them you can tell i want a factory finish on the ends. ARP said cut the longer ones down but dont get them hot enough to change color or use a tap to clean the threads which was a short answer also! I cant believe no one makes 2.5" studs!
