True, a stud 1/16" too short would be a problem, but then again if a stud was made to the correct length but the coarse thread was 1/16" too long one could have the same situation. There are many variables to consider, all of which only illustrate that nothing is perfect. The link to the Judging Standards really gives more information for the nut then it does for the stud, looks to me like that was the intended focus there. As was also mentioned, it sure looks as the studs in the factory photos were different lengths. I was never into "Points" cars, only drivers, but if trophies excite you then that's OK with me.
