Need input on lug nut size. Oem studs too short for my alloys.

I'm getting weld Draglites put on soon but I need aftermarket lugs because the studs are too short. I know I need 12mm but how long should I go? 1.5"? 2" or 3"? Thank you guys.

I have always used 12mm x 1.5's they work fine. Autozone may have a few, but they'll ask you if it has air conditioning. Lol
