I forget if thay are the same size studs front and back...ya can go to any parts shop/site. And punch It in/ask.and see if the same part number for stock fits front and back.... put my 9" in back when my car was just a few years old...if the stock studs are the same front and back then yes they will fit..
my 9" rear came with screw in 1/2 studs made by strange eng.

Yes, same front and rear. I used ARP 1/2"-20X2.970" .568 knurl press in studs. I simply freehand driled the holes to .562" and then pylled them through with lugnut and washers on the front side to seat the knurl. It is very easy to do and pretty much self aligning since oem holes exist as pilot guides.

do the factory lug nuts fit these new studs? Im in the middle of the conversion, and after measuring its gonna be real close with the 2 1/2" studs.

They will if the tread is the same, although you may want pass through acorn style nuts if you are not sure how much stud you will have sticking out of the rim. The thread should be M12 by 1.5 if I remember correctly.
