Time for longer wheel studs... any suggestions?

Right now.... stock wheel studs in front.

I run Weld drag lite 15 X 3.5's with a 5/16th spacer along with the weld draglite lug nuts.

Local track (e town) says this is fine...

Another track (island) tells me I need longer wheel studs.

Might as well be safe...

What size wheel studs/ open end lug nuts would you all recommend?

Thanks!

With a spacer only the GM long stud is long enough to technically be nhra legal.

nope...still not 100% legal. The threads have to come thru 10mm and they do not. but they 'look' long enough since the unthreaded part comes flush with the lugnut

Can these GM studs be picked up from a dealership. Anyone have a part number, or do I just ask for longer studs for 99 Camaro?

Will the stock lug nut covers fit over the longer studs?

Be carefull w/these if you're running any kind of spacer. I was using these w/ 7/32" (~3/16")spacers on the rear w/15x10" 7.5"BS DragLites. Bent all 10 studs after only 1/2 dozen or so launches. As stated above... they are NOT hardened.
