And I used wire wheels on the original studs and didn't have any problem
with the studs being too long.

While I agree, I am curious : Has anyone actually had a short stud fail when
used with the steel wheel nuts (and not under racing conditions) ?

I ran a lot of miles with steel wheels on wire wheel studs and never had any
problems.  Of course I'd never suggest doing that to anyone else!
