They facilitate easier / faster wheel swaps as well as provide better/quicker visual inspection to ensure wheels are firmly secured. And thus why they are typically known as track-studs, race-studs, competition studs, et al.

His question, to help familiarize others, is how far 90mm race studs would protrude... yes past the new lug nuts but also in relation to face of wheel. Is OP doing for aesthetics or tracking often - who knows but sounds like they have a plan and good for them.

Good luck!
Makes sense. Thank you.
