Last night I installed steel lugs (N-020-112-1-M58) for a future track event. After installing, I'm concerned with how short the stud is after installing, see pic:

I'm not running spacers and the wheel is an OEM Carrera III. I believe I have the correct "ball seat" steel lug nuts. I'm concerned about the length of the stud after installation. Should there be more stud showing (longer stud)?
Thanks in advance for your comments!
Cheers,

Thanks for all the comments!
I've seen other examples where the stud protruded 10-20mm whereas mine were just past flush with 1-2mm. I just wanted to confirm this will pass the tech inspection as well!
I'll check the torque after a spirited drive to confirm.
Thanks!

Anything beyond flush is extra weight
