Default Rear stud length

Hey, I replaced my 1992 gt 8.8 rear axles with the moser "direct fit" axles and I ordered the studs from summitt part # msr-8030 1-1/2 long. They look kind of short when I stick my cobra r rims on even tho there the same as the stock length thread wise minus the "quick start nose" , should I have gotten the msr-8010 wich are 3 inches long?? what are you guys running with these wheels and parts on?
Thanks!

If you use a 3 inch stud they they will look like Chit with the Corba R's, The lug nuts sit down in the wheel a good bit. You will also have to use an open end lug nut. As far as I know nobody makes a conical seat closed lugnut long enough to cover you application
