Wheel Studs

To all you experts -

What's the recommended wheel stud length for alloys? These will be Ford Capri Laser 4-spoke RS type. Existing studs are 25mm from axle flange face.

Thanks
Dick

So nobody's expert?

I assembled & checked the rear hub, drum and wheel. The wheel nut/stud thread engagement was approx 0.625", (using the old studs), which should provide sufficient retention for road use.

However, if anyone knows better - don't keep it to yourself!

I think 25mm would be the short studs as the ones on my sieera gear are 40mm and are the only 2 sizes i've seen.
Thats ofcourse unless anyone knows better.
