you wont be able to use stock lugs anyway because they are not open ended. unless you pack a massive spacer behind the stock wheels, probably need at least 20mm but i would just guess 25+
the 3" long studs are not all THAT long anyway. with 15mm spacers and 48mm open ended lug nuts, the studs do not come out past the lugs, they are in at least a few MM. without the spacers, only just the round tip of the ARP lugs stuck out past the lugs.
i suppose if you used shorty lugs, they might look a tad long.
i would assume they are so long to support use of drag racing wheels. not all drag wheels need such long studs, but the set i have are probably 1.5" thick hubs and without studs this long i could never use them.
