Default wheel studs with drag lites?

what length wheel studs should i get for rears? i have a moser 9 inch i'm running a 5/16 spacer i have the closed draglite lug nuts and i'm running 8's 5.5 in backspacing.

i'm looking at the arp 7708, how much longer are those than stock ones?

if you want to run 12mm studs the longest you can go is 2.5arp(i ran thoses on my rear stock 10 bolt for 2 years w/5/16 spacers) if you want to go at least 3", upgrade to 1/2 studs,they're a little bigger and will give you more turns on lug w/spacers

I don't remember the measurement, but here's pic with a side by side comparison.

I'm using the 7708 for the front of my car. I'm running a draglite with a thin spacer. Going to be using the 3.25 for the rear.

On my 9-inch I first had the short studs that moser installed. I then changed to the arp-100-7708 2.5 inch. I have now changed to the arp-100-7713 3.25 inch and put the 2.5 inch on the front. They both have a .509 knurl.

longer never hurts

to pass tech, there must be the same length of threads showing as wide as the stud is.
