Need recommendation

[Fast Willy]

I need a recommendation on a set of extended rear studs and lug nuts for the rear of my cobra. Recently I purchased a set of 10.5 AFS wheels for the back and I am also running a 3/8 spacer that I got from LFP. The spacer also came with a set of lug nuts but I am less then satisfied with them as 2 of them didn't even want to go on nearly straight.

I'm assuming ARP Studs but not quit sure on what part number or size to get. Also what lug nuts do you guys recommend for them as well. I could reuse my factory ones and I would be totally ok with that except that don't even come close to starting to thread now with my setup.

Following along for this as well.

I'm running ARP 3" studs, but I can't remember the part number. I ordered them from Summit and I remember I ordered whatever they had listed as direct replacements. You can always trim them down to the length you want.

Why the 3/8 spacer?

Why the 3/8 spacer?

After fitting just the rims on the car my 315 tire was literally sitting on the irs itself not even the bolt. I've heard 1/4 works as well but I wasn't about to cut it close since I have fully rolled fenders. Here are a couple pics I took during the install.

Installed low profile IRS bolts from MM

This is now the gap with the spacer and the wheel at full drop

After the wheels are installed

This is what the spacer looks like. I got it from LFP

BTW I just ordered the following

ARP 3 inch studs part #100-7703
Ford Racing open ended lug nuts part #M-1012-G

Open ended lug nuts are required with this long of a stud. I Paid $50.80 shipped through summit racing. Hope all this helps anyone else may needing these parts.
