Why install longer wheel studs
Stronger not only because of the nicer material. But more thread contact. Most drag racers will run open ended lugs ao the studs go through. I upgraded to longer studs while running spacers for security. Obviously had to trim them down to fit inside the lugnut. Not ruinning spacers anymore and they still fit in my lugs. So its best of both worlds if you trim them to a happu medium.
I have extended arp studs. I could run a slightly wider tire and not worry about rubbing on my rear brake duct.
On my old ws6 it would keep you from having do BFH mod the inner fender..and clear more space near the lower control arm.
Run an open lug nut and save yourself the time from trimming. Just my 2 cents

Thanks. The previous owner put the extended ones on the front for some reason on my car. I only have stock wheels anyway so I'm going to swap them out for stock studs. I guess I'll just keep them incase I want to put them on the rear for any reason someday.

most tracks check this @ tech-in for certain bracket racing & the faster cars.........
its a quick visual aid,you can now see an inch or so of thread sticking out instead of an acorn nut that could be the wrong thread size.
its just a look & see if they are all tight or loose.instead of wondering if the guy has the right nuts on the lugs.........
a quick safety factor.
or for running spacers for switching out your rims........

If you are using wheels with shank style lugs (i.e. Weld Prostars and Draglites) then the force is being exerted on the studs further out toward the ends. This is opposed to wheels with stock style (I forget the proper terminology) lugs, like the Jegs and Summit knockoff versions of Prostars and Draglites, where the force is being exerted on the studs much closer to the hub.
I don't have a drag setup and I hate the look of the studs sticking out past the nut. I will still have them, just not on my car. I'll probably end up putting them on the rear someday if I want to run spacers or something.
