I am having trouble finding the proper wheel lugs for my '49 club coupe.  The OEM parts list has two different part numbers for front and rear.  Most of the search engine results for wheel lugs list Dorman 610-032 wheel lugs for front and rear axles.  The part does fit the front drums, but the knurled shoulder (1/2") is too long for the rear hub (3/8").  Does someone have a part number for replacement rear wheel lugs.  Is there a correct 1/2"-20 x 1-3/8" stud, or do I need a longer stud and a spacer?  Or maybe just mill the excess shoulder down before installation (seems like a lot of work for a $2 part!).

Update.  FWIW...The Dorman 610-032 seem to be the best fit for the front drums, whereas the Dorman 610-191 studs seem to work best for the rear hubs.  The 610-191 seem to be about 1/16" to 3/32" longer than stock, but the knurled diameter and shoulder depth work well given the rear hub width and stud holes.  The part is listed for Oldsmobile/Pontiac for the same time period, but didn't include Cadillac until 1955 on.
