Cragar Ultra Lite lug nut question

I have a set of Cragar Ulta Lites on the front of my car. Look very similar to Weld Drag Lites.

I just switched the front studs to 2 1/2" studs so my old lugs will not fit (closed end). The old one were Weld brand and had a 1.0" shank. Now that I am looking for an open ended nut, no one makes a 1.0" shank?

I saw 1.380" and 0.750" shanks, but no 1.00"

I bought the McGard 0.75" shank lugs. Will this work? The rims measure 1.0" on the inside of the center.

Thanks for any/all help.

Re: Cragar Ultra Lite lug nut question

I use the Mcgard racing lug nuts on my front wheels and they work fine. You don't want the shank to bottom out before the nut tightens the wheel so a little shorter won't hurt anything. there's going to be a washer under the head of the nut also. The nylon allen plug on the end can be left on but can easily be removed so tech can see how long the stud is.

My rear wheels use 5/8 studs which uses nut spacers and flanged nuts.
