Is this a racing or street set-up. In racing, use the Mr Gasket or ARP.  
Dorman makes a set that is a little longer than stock. Or use the Corvette 
studs  - from the 60's. Dave Clemons, in his disk Brake kit, included a longer 
stud  that pulled right into the stock front or rear hubs. 
 
These fit:
ARP P/N 100-7701 is a set of five. Overall length 3 3/8" with a nice pilot  
for the lug nut .(486 Knurl)
Moroso P/N 46150 is a five. Overall length is 2 7/8" also has a pilot for  
the lug nut. (.480 Knurl)
Old Moroso P/N 4615 -  2 3/4 length - no pilot (.480 Knurl)
 
Be sure to find the correct lug nuts for these wheels, the Corvair won't  
work (Chews up the wheel) and the Metric won't work (Chews up the studs).  
Look for the Gorilla - or other brand of "Bulge" nuts. Those have a nice,  
round tapered seat that sits on the wheel taper and a smaller hex -  usually 
11/16" or 3/4" for the removal socket. You will probably need  Open-style lug 
nuts, like a Gorilla P/N 40077.
 
Also, if you feeling adventurous, and have a 12mm drill handy, you can  
convert to Metric studs and nuts.

For  those of you running IROC-Z rims, what did you do to engage more than
