Default Wheel studs

So I'm needin help figuring out length on the wheel studs, im puttin a wide body on the rear, and the hub on the 12 inch wheels are thicker then current wheels, sMe style of wheels , forge star CF5s.

Do I just measure the diff in thickness and add that to the current length of the wheel stud?

My question to you is in regards to your aftermarket wheels.

Measuring from the back of your wheel (where it rests against rotor)
to the front side of wheel (flat part where your lug nut sets against)

That thickness (usually) is approximately 3/8" thick .

As are Rear GM Z06 speedlines, aftermarket Rear ZR1 r1 19"x11"wheel.

I don't believe you were talking about the thickness of the car's wheel hub,which (On an ARP 12mmx1.50" (wheel stud) has a Kurl of approx.0.509")

You said your wheels are 12" wide. What is the off set?
Usually stamped on a inside spoke.
