There is a dimension that you add to the stud where it sticks out of the wheel and that is the bolt length. I think the dimension added is .44. Just measure the amount the bolt sticks out the stock rim and add that to the amount of stud inthe wheel and you have it.
The stock Crossfire bolt is not threaded for about .66".
From the ball to bolt junction to the end of the thread is 1.54".
You should repeat this question in your spare tire thread and keep the info in one place.
