The threads should engage until the stud is about 1/2 to one turn short of the end of the nut.
I still have to get mine registered - I am concerned that the roadworthy tester will knock it back because of the amount of unused thread. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks to everyone,
Cheers,
Paul

If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.
I would expect that a RWC tester who knows what they are doing will knock that back and not issue a RWC with wheel nuts only engaged by 2-3 threads.
You really need to have 3-4 threads minimum past the nut to ensure full thread engagement between the nut and wheel stud, otherwise it’s asking for trouble.
One of the earlier photos shows correct thread protrusion.
While that is correct for the wheel nuts in question, it should be pointed out that Landrover wheel nuts prior to 1970 (the double sided ones) are designed to have the stud not fully fill the nut, with the stud a couple of threads below the end of the nut. But these are longer nuts relative to the stud diameter.

They are doable with the hubs attached, at least on a Series. Its a matter of rotating the hub- cant recall to what position though. The longer ones can be fitted same way & pulled tight by using a larger nut over the stud & pulling into position ( align the splines of course) with a wheel nut & grease.
My Series SWB had the same problem as the OP when fitted with Wolf Rims. I bought the longer studs FRC7577 from Paddocks (20) which cost me $175 inc postage & bank fee's, now I am running Sunraysias & the studs protrude as per RAR110"S picture.
Silenceisgolden. you could always borrow some standard wheels/tyres to get you through a RWC... This topic has previously been covered & I recall quite a few Landies have shorter studs as per yours without practical issues.

Thanks Deejay, good suggestion - I can borrow the front wheels off my 130. I have ordered the long studs from Landybits - if I can fit them without removing the hub I will do so, but otherwise I will just borrow my Defender wheels for the roadworthy and fit the studs at a later date.
