you will prob need to get some spacers im sure. but this is what somebody told me on here as for stud size and lug size.
you will need a shank style lug nut 12mm x 1.5 thread size
1.300-1.380 shank length
.679-.687 shank diameter
ARP wheel studs with 5/16 spacers.
Hope this helps you man but this is what i was told to do to my car. please somebody chime in and atleast tell this guy if this is correct.

You're gonna have to massage the front inner fender a little,roll the lips(if you're lowering it). 5/16 spacer(as said above) and grind on calipers(no biggie), I ran the stock studs for a long time befroe I put the 9" in,the long shank SST lugs catch pretty good(no problems for 5K+ miles or on several other fbodies I've had with the same setup)My car is only lowered an inch in the rear but I have plenty of room. I 60' in the low 1.30's so the tire is up in the fender a little during launch and hasnt rubbed any yet. I've had this setup for a while and havent had any poblems. Heres a coupla old pics os when I did it
