Need new wheel studs after installing spacer
1978 c3 corvette rally wheels.
Hi all. Need to get longer wheel studs. I installed the spacers below:
Due to the new wilwood calipers being a hair too big and scrapping the inside of the wheel. Regardless I need new studs. I believe something like 1/2-20 in. x 2 in. Long, .589 in. Diameter Size? Any thoughts and any suggestions on new lug nuts while I’m at it?
While im at it, any suggestions on new lug nuts.

sorry just seen spacer size... you should be fine with longer shank lug nuts, im doing the same right now with 5mm spacers and 1/4" longer shank lug nuts

Instead of the steel rally wheels, would YJ8 wheels fit without spacers? They're 15 lbs lighter, and in your profile image.
I broke some studs, and upgraded to 1/2" ARP studs. It was no small effort. Hopefully the longer shank solution works for you.
