Should I use long or short wheel studs? What are the benefits of both? Do the long ones look good with street gear on? Can I use shank lugs with short studs? What are ya'll running?

So no input from anyone. Is everyone running stock studs?

where ever possible i would run longer and bigger studs...ARP would be a good choice. but some dont like them because you have to use open lugs and they show through and look not so great

So what about just using the arp studs in the "short" length? Are these still longer then stock?

stock fronts are about 3/8" longer and were what i needed for more contact on the cheap if you buy them from GM they will be if from the parts store you will get the same length as stock... but i will say if you have the money to sped on ARPs then do it
