you have a staggered wheel setup.

which means the wheels on the back are wider than the front.

this means the inside face of the wheels on the rear are thicker than the front.

hence the need for longer wheelnuts.

Re: wheel nut lenghts
but the studs sre the same size, so why would the nuts need to be longer?
there will be less thread going into them, or am i being stupid?

Re: wheel nut lenghts
std rear wheels are wider, so if you used smaller wheel nuts they wouldnt sit flush with the face of the wheel
