you wont need longer studs! They have a lugnut that fits between the wheel and the lug nut. looks like this |____|

that skinny part goes through the wheel hole. thus, you dont need longer studs.

He's using the off-set washers. I thought about it some more, maybe the offset washers are used to prevent the wheels from moving around on the studs. Im guessing they fit close to the inside of the rim, holding everything in place.

Guys,
i have the same rims on my 66 coupe. Here is what they look like and the washers are essential to holding the rim in right location becuase these are universal fits.

i just got a set of cragars in the mail today. I BOUGHT MY LUG NUTS FROM CRAGAR! or just about any 1/2 lug that fits inside the rim will work with a washer if it isnt to deep(long) to tighten the rim up.
