Wheel studs ?The studs on the Wilwood set-up is shorter than the prevoious. The net length is Wilwood - 1 1/8" and the other studs are 2 1/2". The nuts are thru type and bolts came out some. The Wilwood studs will fit about 1 3/8" into the nuts. Is this sufficient?

Must be a street kit. 
Regardless, 1 and 3/8 of thread into the nut is good.------------------

Depends what rims you are running. The rule says the stud must protrude into the hex portion of the nut. Many types of race wheels don't need long studs.

Must protrude 1/2 the diameter of the thread.
IE: 1/4 inch. 
Won a bet with tech "hot shot" over that one years ago.  ------------------

Rims are centerlines I believe 3/12" running 195x75x15 tires.
