Question Wheel stud questions

About five years ago, I bought a set of 17 Cobra R replica wheels to fit the Baer/PBR brakes I had just installed. It wasn't until today I realized that the wheel studs need to be about 3/8" longer as I have less than half of the existing stud catching the lug nut threads due to the increased thickness of the center hub of the wheel. I am hoping someone who has changed the wheel studs on their Fox Mustang for longer ones could help me out. How long are the stock studs? Are front studs different from back ones? Where would be a good place to get longer ones? Thanks.

Ha, I just noticed this too with the cobra rims... And Ive been riding these rims since the 90,s when they came out in 4 lug. If I would of checked then I would have changed them hella fast. Im using Moser MSR-8250 studs and they gave me the lenght I wanted
