Default Wheel Studs - which ones?

I have 5 bent studs. I have to change out. I plan on getting draglites here shortly so I'm thinking of going with the longer stud for track purposes. But I have Torque Thrusts for street use. Which studs should I get and will they work with the Acorn style lugs for my TT's?

Oh I have a Moser 12 bolt with push in studs.

I have the 1/2" extended studs in my Moser 12-bolt axles. I run Draglites with a 5/16" spacer and closed long-shank draglite lugs. With the WS6 stock wheels, I also use the 5/16" spacer behind the wheel and I can fit some truck-specific 1/2" acorn, long, closed end, chrome lugs. They look just fine. I have to use the spacer with the stock wheels or the closed lugs will bottom out on those studs. I got them at Pep-Boys

Who Manufactures these? ARP? Since I've already bent one side 1.61 60ft, should I go with the racing studs?

Lingenfelter sells longer studs in the stock thread config (12mm x 1.5). Check their web site.

WHEEL STUDS [12MM EXTRA LONG: 3.5"] 22551491

Go to your local dealer with this part number. They should be less than $2, I forget the exact amount put they'll do the trick

Here's a pic of the STOCK wheels and here's a pic of the front Skinnys
