I found low cost studs that were about a 1/2" longer than my stock ones on my 64 drum brake car. Worked good for my belt on knock off wheels .

Forgot to say, I got the studs at O'Reilly Auto parts here in the u.s. Sorry I don't reply to many posts.

What size spacers did you use? Reason I ask is because you can get spacers with recessed nuts for your old studs that have new studs.

Check these out as an example.

First reason I needed new wheel studs were that the old threads were worn out. Also the bolt on knock off wheels have a cast aluminum thickness that is
more than the original steel rims have. So there were less threads for wheel nuts to tighten. With the longer studs it was a win,win for me. New threads and more threads for the longer nuts that came with the bolt on knock off wheels.

here's another example of recessed spacers (1 1/4" spacers): https://www.jegs.com/i/Trans-Dapt/969/3611/10002/-1

You can also buy longer studs, but they may not be as safe: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00TO5ZI..._t3_B000CIQZTU

ARP makes the longer wheel studs. Available from Summit Racing.

The factory stud is 1 3/4" under the head, Dorman part number 610-157 is 2 1/8" under the head.
