I need longer studs

I have a 4th gen rear off a 97'. Trying to install some vette wheels but the studs are too short and I'm rubbing this part that sticks out on the inner well. So not sure if I should get spacers or try to bang out the part that sticks out. So I need to get new studs and replace the old ones. How long are the stock ones and how long should I get for the new ones?

I'm not familiar with knurl diameter either. So I'm not sure which ones to order. If anyone can help the sooner the better. Thanks

Re: I need longer studs

Ok so I can only find a 12.80mm Knurl the stud is 12mmx1.50 RH overall length is 54mm compared to the stock 41.5mm studs. Will the 12.80 fit in the 12.73mm knurl size?

Re: I need longer studs

Most aftermarket knurl diameters are a little larger and will go in just fine. I also noticed when I purchased my Moser extra length studs that the amount of oversize can vary from different manufactures.

Re: I need longer studs

a trick to help them in is to freeze the studs. shrinks them and then they go into the hub easier.
