They are about 2 1/4 inch long, 1/2 x 20. AZ has them. make sure you get washers as well. Or get the lugs from where you purchased rims.

here is another, is there a performance shop near you? They usually have them. Don't get the Allen head ones.
Weld ligs would need to be 1/2 x 20

You need new lug bolts to be legal. You also need wheel spacers to get over the brakes. I originally went with 3 inch studs and 7/16 wheel spacers, but when the rules changed, I got 1/2 inch hubcentric/lugcentric wheel spacers from Maximum Motorsports. I also had to switch to 3 1/2 inch lugs, also from Maximum Motorsports.

if racing that is true, most tracks don't do a lot of checking around here unless sub 11s. The longer studs are better and not very hard to install.
Jim, did you have to use spacer on the rear or just the front? I only had problems with the front.

If you're not racing, you don't need Welds. Only on the front to get over the front brakes. It's an NHRA requirement that the threads of your lug nuts (the hex portion) grab onto the lugs by a distance equal to the diameter of the lugs. It's a requirement at any NHRA track. Not only that, it may save your life or the life of the guy in the other lane.
