Lug nut length
Just put on my refinished A-specs with new OEM lug nuts that are 19mm, 12x1.5mm. They measure 1 1/8" in length however the lug nuts that I replaced (OEM as well) were 1 5/16".
Should I be concerned about the slightly shorter length? I had a local shop do the swap so I'm not aware how many full rotations were done but they didn't mention anything about them bottoming out or anything. They were torqued to spec. I'm not running any spacer and they are OEM wheel studs.
Thanks.

You should be fine.
For some reason I have one lug nut much shorter than the others.

That won't present a problem as long as the new lug nuts don't hit the top of the studs. Put something like play dough on the top of the stud and tighten one of the new nuts down, remove and see if the play dough is compressed.
Just make certain they used the ball seat lug nuts.

Thanks for the responses, they are definitely ball seat. I've put about 10 miles on them and went and rechecked everything and they seem fine. I'll check them again after a few more miles and go from there.
Turbonut, good suggestion I may have to give that a try.
