Is it necessary to replace the old style hub studs with longer ones when upgrading to the new wheel?

I think it is a good idea to replace them, but the new wheels will work with the shorter studs.

The longer studs make it easier for the lug nuts to engage by hand before tightening, which reduces the chances of pulling up the threads -- especially when using an impact wrench. Also, if you run the Weld wheels at any time, the longer studs are a must.

Anyone have a part number or source for the longer studs?

Looking at my Amazon history:
Dorman (610-416.1) 'M12-1.50' and 52.2mm Long Serrated Wheel Stud

Confirming Greg's Dorman number 610-416 and adding NAPA's part number 641-4112. I replaced all my short studs and highly recommend everyone should. Bob is correct also about engaging the threads by hand before one uses an impact wrench to eliminate cross threading. The very new style wheels appear thicker in the hub area too.

You may want to use a thread chaser on all the lugs nuts and the studs at least once a year.
