When I did a C5 front swap on a 68 Camaro I used Napa Pt#:

641-1267 7/16 X 1-3/4" studs and they were about the right length

if you want a little longer stud use Napa PT#

641-1268 These are 7/16 X 2-1/8". If you use a cone style of lug nut these may bottom out in the lug nut.

I used the long 2-1/8" inch studs w/ cone style nuts and they worked but were Very close to bottoming out. The wheels on the car had fairly thick mounting web so it worked out.

I would suggest going down to Napa and buy a couple of each and try them out and see what works best. They are not that expensive so you will only waste a couple bucks and you will have the right studs for your app.
