Update, I got them on, easy, 1/2 inch longer & full thread arp. Click below for a video.
Thanks all.
BTW the threads on the original studs look fine. The nuts take the wear more than the studs. Still they have been torqued (stretched) many, many hundreds of times more than what GM figures for a passenger car, so I feel good with them all done.

I have never had a problem, 100's of auto-x, many many track events.
We did a failure test on GM studs. tightened 5 studs to 180 ft-lbs, only 1 snaped.
