They make a longer stud in 9/16 but its only 3-9/32" and I wanted at least 3-3/4" ... also, the knurl is .677 so I would have to drill... (610-303 dorman)

I did find that Gorilla makes a lug nut for the 5/8 with the correct 60 degree seat so I think I'm going to upgrade to a 5/8 stud.. its knurl is .657 so I probably wont need to drill.... (610-418 dorman)
You will probably need a press to get them in with the .657" knurl but it should work.
